Shows how much the people in the UK take the piss and still manage to lose it.
Completely agree - shipping rates in the UK are outrageous. Hell, it only cost me 15 Euro to ship the backpack cable reel and frame in from the Fatherland, and thats one right heavy bugger!

I love Belgian beers. Luckily I can get them anywhere over here and fairly cheap.
Karmeliet (triple) is one of my favs.

Hehe, don't I know it! I've already got 11 field telephones (the collection started with my first two field phones, bought exactly 1 year ago at last years' Beltring!), and now this Switchboard - that's an average of a piece of equipment every month!
Still looking for a British assault reel...

Sounds expensive. I assume there is a lot of traders there yes?
I'm hoping to go saturday for a bit or retail therepy myself. Especially looking for things that will finish off my French (both FFL and the regualr metropolitan looks) and Home guard/restsitance kit-outs.

The guard stood firm for Frances Pride, As you do
They said the guard will stand and die
But we heard what their Colonel cried
It wasn't pretty I tell you.
Resistance is fertile
