I should know, having been over there to work quite a few times. I certainly would not hold my breath in hope for a smoother and easier passage these days. Planned import rules will probably do something about the price tag of the Ilford stuff over there as well, should we believe what we hear. If that's not fake news, of course?!<br />And yes, I will throw a couple of boxes of paper inside the bag before I get home from old England next time I'm there. And I don't even think I will feel too bad about it, to be honest. After all it's just paper I would never buy from back home, only extras to support Ilford directly :)<br />Maybe even a trip eastwards to check out a few street markets would have been a bit fun some day? Just shout out if you're ready for a raid!Roy Karlsvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805712465787215923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123989647659569518.post-32207442703524222452017-02-19T16:11:54.284+01:002017-02-19T16:11:54.284+01:00Definitely kind of cool seeing all that metalwork,...Definitely kind of cool seeing all that metalwork, Roy. Always good to see the insides of these vessels as well as the outsides - a view most of us never have, y'know. Hope you don't have too many days like that one, though - that's a lot of hours on the go. <br /><br />So...you're going to do some smuggling of paper, eh? I do the same, with film, every time I go to the Wild West to visit The Brother. Hard to understand why Ilford film (made in UK) is about 30% cheaper in the States than here. Well it was, before the £ went south after Brexit. Maybe things are about the same now. Not sure I even want to test the US immigration people for a while, though - they are pretty tough people to deal with at the best of times, under Trump things seem to have a got a whole lot worse in that department.Michael McNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11247145157454447816noreply@blogger.com
