yes but unlike the measly 18 quid in the UK we get $1000 before we are hit up for any charges... so makes things quite easy really!

Sure, now..that's Britain for you. If they could figure out a way to tax the air we breathe, they would. (I bet there is a hidden tax there somewhere....)

Snorkel....A friend of mine made one from drainage piping from the builders merchants...seemed to work okay!

Any of you considered getting together, creating a big parts list and getting a container shipped over? Would that be a viable idea, do you think?
