It is my Christmas pressie to myself but hopefully I should get it in the New Year I have just had an email from the seller to say that they are currently unable to ship to the UK, Ireland and The Republic of Ireland, normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. Does anyone know if future purchases from European sellers will be subject to additional taxes following Brexit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That all depends on how HMCE and the Treasury decide to interpret the WTO rules, but probably. On the other hand, you should be able to get VAT removed from purchases in EU, but UK equivalent of VAT will then be added on when it arrives Charlie Foxtrot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put an order in last week with a German wholesaler and they cancelled the order and refunded the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The younger step monster's ex is a paramedic ambulance driver in London. I checked in with him the other day after seeing photos of the chaos outside the London hospitals. His ambulance is in one of the photos. He was sitting in a queue of ambulances with a Covid patient on board and they had to wait for 5 hours before being able to hand over the patient. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 been dealing with a total *****d of a manager for a large construction company the last couple of days after 1 of my 5 sundays in a row for a major roadworks scheme was cancelled 2 weeks early due to the services on it,basically the 999 agencies objected and requested a date after the summer holidays in september, which we have to agree to due to service agreements, however mr boss man feels he's way more important, mainly due to the fact he's messed his levels up so two of our new manholes need rebuilding (400k’s worth of work hes being re billed for from us ) and hes got his drains levels wrong also , so thinks he can get out of it by pushing us to do stuff earlier than agreed illegally so to speak , my boss has now got involved and told him to stop emailing me ( no idea where he even got it from and should have had it) and deal with the allocated repayments planner ,after i had a sense of humour failure with him , and told him where to go ,had 23 emails today alone ,similar number yesterday as well as attempted phone calls (again no idea how he got my number, but i will find the culprit ) constantly trying to bully us into just doing it anyway.

You had a "sense of humour failure", hmm, wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that, I know what you can get like when you have a strop 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he's been contacted by the repayments planning senior manager now and told much the same, all be it in a more acceptable language 😀 . And also had a good few extra hours billed against him for wasting my time, should never have got my email or phone details so the hunts on for who passed it on, got an idea as has my boss now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 As most know. I've been building up a little collection off vintage Britains over the last few years and I still have alot off gaps to fill in that little collection. Basicly I have been using Ebay as my main source off finding suitable items most off the time and I've got some dam fine examples there. Some members here have also helped me source certain items. The UK sellers on Ebay have the best and most to offer in comparison to the EU countries. So practically every item I sourced came from the UK. Last night I was watching and found to bid on a Bamford baler. It was a complete example unboxed...no parts or decals missing. Perfect for me. It was ending at around the €12... Not bad Postage was coming in at €10... OK. but I've got better. This is the worst. IMPORT CHARGES.. Again €10... So...i think my Ebay days off vintage Britains hunting is coming to an end. Brexit has truly f**ked up the whole show. All I can say is what is the world coming to. 🤔😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Due to lack of space I'd decided to cut up my collection of Classic Tractor and keep the articles I wanted in a ring binder and get rid of the rest. Using a Stanley type knife to cut the binding off, I took my eye off it and removed a small piece of of top of left middle finger...blood +++ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
