Thats the blessing of the Firestick, No Ads! and you can skip the promo crap. I have not watched actual Aerial type TV for ages now. I quite like the Nature programs on the Beeb. RTE Efforts are pretty lame

I needed to pick something up in the Cork one when that was open and they did have a visitors area. With covid maybe not now. Oh and one more thing FED EX / TNT are now getting their stuff done in Philippines. I have massive issues trying to get customs entries corrected. I wonder have An Post Contracted this out also.

FYI The T/C is 8 digits for exports from EU and 10 for imports. The Slash is obviously an issue with an optical reader or data transfer for that. Tis a real pain for sure BTW I thought I got a clean getaway with a package from FED EX last month, Came home to a letter telling me I owe then 14 notes for the vat and clearance. Customs clearance€5.00 Disbursement fee €8.23 Plus a 1.15 Vat Fee So not too much of a rip of price I had feared but never the less it cost me 6 notes extra for this delivery now. Christ the EU have done us Zero favours here on this one for sure.

"as long as the item is sent with the correct customs information there would be no issues with the item coming in" sorry but this is the senders issue, The information needed was not supplied. What are they supposed to do make up the Taric codes on import? sorry that is just not done and there is where the issue was. Daft that it cant be resolved here while IM is dealing with them though. Also for any one that has a Magazine subscription from the UK a lad has told me An post are looking to collect about a fiver for the pleasure of customs clearing these.

As I said before, Big opportunity for the Irish shops here but they are a bit stuck in a rut with stuff like this although Marks did have cobalts at one stage

"Maybe someone in customs don't understand the parcel labelling properly or do not like Hattons parcels" Customs don't to the Customs entry, it would be the guys in An Post to input the details and send it down to Revenue for the Duty and Taxes. What An Post do is put into their data into their entry, Send it to the customs system which then will calculate the costs and return the Vat and Duty costs. Rubbish in Rubbish out.

Hi folks, IRM Going from Strength to strength it seems! I never saw these in the Flesh so to speak so would these 3 packs (1-2-3) be run together in a Rake? Would the Driving trailer also be pulled in the rake by a 111 Class? Where would the Similar Lima Liveried coaches fit in with these?

"What I've never seen but would be a nice addition to DCC projects would be train braking sounds as an rake of coaches come to a stop and the cascading break screech runs down the length of the train as each coach comes to a halt. The sound of a rake of cravens or laminates coming to a stop was iconic. The mk2 and mk3 coaches were not quite as screechy" It imagine it will be a matter of Time when coaches will get say mini speakers in for just that effect Noel.
