      I’m trying to imagine what the shipping cost for that shipment is,and if it’s at least $100 a box,that’s $9700. Am I even close?

                    And the VAT we have to pay upon this import will be in the region of USD40K.  We can claim that back, but it ties up working capital…..

                        It is a blessing that Derek, our main UPS driver, has a sunny disposition.  He turned up yesterday afternoon, little knowing that on top of dozens (how many did we actually ship yesterday @AdamC ) of direct customer shipments, @Graham had sorted and packed 36 large cartons for retailers…....

                            Best part of 100 shipments, but Graham had done 38 large boxes when all was said and done!

                                        Today was/is our Christmas party.  After secret Santa and dishing out a heap of beautiful dried meats that a ridiculously kind customer sent to us, we went go-karting.

                                        Someone knows me very well (though, I am a tad transparent) - thank you whoever you are….

                                        Podium ….

                                        1- Chess (poser bought his own helmet  😃 )
                                        2- Adam Crawshaw
                                        3 - Steve (weighs nothing, so basically was cheating)

                                        Tonight, we have a meal in a private room at a local restaurant.  We have all tested negative today, all have at least 2 jabs, so feel reasonably safe.  And frankly, I feel so desperately sorry for the hospitality business (no fiscal help is being given to them at the moment, but the Government has basically said Christmas parties should not happen, so restaurants and the like are basically fucked, just when they thought things were getting better), I really want them to have our business.  Yes it's a calculated risk.
