Made my first overseas sale to a gent in France.
Believe it or not, the Royal Mail, that bastion of Imperial efficiency conveying your items anywhere in the "Empire", wouldn't take it 'cos it was over 90cm long!!
In the end I had to organise a courier
. On the upside, it was £6 cheaper and took only three days to get to Biarritz instead of 14. Both me and the Customer - very happy
Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund - a few bob better off
Everyone's a winner
