..why do they serve people with well over the stated regulations that they have plastered all around the shop, Dave.

Because I might be buying 5 cartons on behalf of myself and 4 friends, all travelling together. We each carry 1 carton into the UK.

Or do you expect them to be aware of the customs allowance of every country in the world?

No but they put the information into the till before they scan the items, so there could be a bit of software in the tills software that could flag it up as they scan the items

As I've said, one purchaser might be buying on behalf of others. Nothing wrong with that.

And why would they want to do that they've got your money its not in their interest to put people off of buying the goods, you'd be amazed how many people i nab with loads of cigs who claim the shop told them they could have as much as they wanted after all why would the shop keeper care if i seized your goods as he has your cash.

Phatbear gives valuable advice on this forum, with customs being a speciality area of his.

Don't shoot the messenger eh?

Cheers Pup, I suppose we probably are miserable due to having to deal with wanabe jack the lads who seem to think that the law doesnt apply to them, when in reality we would rather be dealing with the real scum of society, however we are too busy having to deal with the situ which is in front of us.
