Indeed, a better comparison for UK exports to EU is EU exports to UK. There is a lot of deliberate(?) confusion about the reality. Somewhere, I have a UKIP election leaflet that declares "Europe buys more from the UK than we sell to them" I've never quite worked out what they meant there...

There are instructional videos available.

Grasping the reality of all this is not a national pastime there. My 'favourite' conversation about it was - "We drink pints and drive miles. We should never have joined!" "How many feet in a mile?" "Oh, I don't know. About a thousand?" Of all the numbers to guess...

For the same reason as, when the Americans give you a lethal injection, they use a sterile needle.

GSR & CIE locomotive list for grey, green or black livery

Of course, I should have realised that you would have your finger on the pulse of the nation's cultural zeitgeist. I have suggested to the National Gallery that they include a print of your artwork above in their current exhibition :- https://www.nationalgallery.ie/art-and-artists/exhibitions/mondrian Obviously, I have asked them to check with you first - in case the image above is not the right way up. -
That would be my experience of DPD on the Big Island - easily the best of the various couriers from a recipient's point of view. The predicted arrival times are such that you could almost disconnect the door bell. Few others even come close to their performance. For me, Royal Mail's 'tracking' is usually largely fictional. There will probably be local, regional and national variations in how any organisation performs, though, I suppose. A few operations may have been caught out by the sudden popularity of additional items being delivered in the current circumstances.

I quite like it. In the style of Mondrian..? -
DPD is owned by France's La Poste, I believe.

Back in the 1980s, I used to supply my workmates with woodscrews, which I bought from a bloke who advertised in Exchange & Mart. They were excellent items, made in Hong Kong. He was not VAT-registered and, as the trade increased, he would keep an eye on the threshold approaching and cease trading (and advertising) for that year around January/February time - restarting for the New Year in early April.. When you were a 'regular', he would tip you off as the 'temporary end' approached, so you weren't caught out.

That was what his MBE was awarded to him for.

My local* model shop in Stafford has had a delivery this morning - so, I've pinched the picture off Facebook. * Well, it would be local, if I was there... https://www.facebook.com/289396587829410/photos/a.2919399044829138/2919398924829150/

The cars would suggest later than 1963, I think.
