Close - New Brighton I'm sorry, my brain didn't inform my fingers of my thoughts; I meant to say New Brighton :roll: You can see I know the area from the images of Perch Rock lighthouse on my website. My first reaction to your image was that the background was distracting to the shelter but, withou...

It's more a case of bad luck being charged Duty & VAT, particularly on smaller items.
