Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?

Some more Oz food prices. Every day in the news people are complaining about the never ending increases in food prices.

Re: Customs cost of international parcel

Yes the value is as decided by customs. On a privately imported car (don't know if that's still possible) You would get your importing agent to negotiate with the customs office in situ to reduce what they claim. A good/well known international agent represented in Thailand could save you money (ev...

Re: Customs cost of international parcel

its a small surf board I have a sneaking feeling that sporting equipment might raise a customs flag. Beauty products/cosmetics did too for my daughter. It's not so much the cost as the pain of having to go a fair distance to pay them. The cost will be based on value, not size. I imported car parts,...

Re: 2024 F1 News and Prediction League

"serious blunder" or "professional foul"
So if it not one of those two options, what is it then?

Re: 2024 F1 News and Prediction League

but I truly do hope Alonso will stick around to give up and coming drivers the benefit of his knowledge and experience....

Yes, and that is what he and a couple of others should be doing! But it should not be in F1 races!

Re: 2024 F1 News and Prediction League

Perhaps, but personally I think Aston Martin would disagree with regards to Alonso and he still has a hell of a lot to offer. I doubt that anyone would dispute that Alonso is an incredible driver, but on his own addmission he made a serious blunder. His hesitation and momentary indecision that led ...
