I think you'll find KY jelly's cheaper there, too, Graeme, so you may as well bring some of that back an' all

I think that you will find guns are not a brilliant example of price difference - even the word "gun" will soon be banned in the UK!!!!

Funny how since the total ban on handguns gun crime has gone UP!!!

Britain has the most stupid gun laws on this planet - when will they realise than banning things just does NOT work???

All guns were banned in Ireland - didn't stop the IRA - drugs are banned - doesn't stop people using them!!!

And to get this back a little on topic they have even banned some types of flare - well not quite banned but you need a FAC to own them and be a registered firearms dealer to sell them!!!!

Lets face it the ONLY way you will get products cheaper from abroad is if you smuggle them in and avoid duty etc.

Of course this is considered far worse than rape - murder or mugging old ladies.

Just read that good old C+E have so far impounded over 20,000 cars owned by peopling bring back to many fags or booze. Thats a hell of a lot of cars!!! 10,000 a year...........

How much is too many? 800 cigs - some people will smoke that in 2 weeks!!!

Hoverspeed have had a successfull law suit against them for killing their trade and now the EU is giving them a hard time as well.
