hi just a bit of information regarding vat on parcels

i recently received parcels from my daughter in canada for christmas

only to find that i had to pay vat on them as the value was over £39 so £35 later i got the parcel £16 of witch went to the royal mail (£8 per transaction)

so be warned if you order anything from abroad you may also have to pay vat on it

i belive this came into force on the1st of august this year

hi

just a note to warn any would be builders of the published boiler design in issue 4399 page 312 it shows the back head drawing

it shows a radius of 2 1/4 inches from the centre to the out side it should be to the inside of the flange

otherwise it will be 1/4 of an inch to small don't ask me how i know
