Morning All. :D
Cool & Bright here. :)
Supposed to be nice warm day today (we'll see).
Slow Cooked Beef tonite, got to prep it all and sear up the beef joint in a mo'.
As an aside, I have found the best beef for slow cooking is a "Salmon Cut", no gristle or sinew in the whole thing.
Bonus is the wonderful gravy it gives you out of the marinated celery, carrot & onion with the meat juices.
We usually use half and save half for later. Got my Sister coming here next W/E and there may be fillets to BBQ. :)
Long chat with #2 son last night. Yes he is going to lose his house, so it is likely we will be taking him & the kids in next year.
Have a lovely day.
 
.... Boring I know but y'all remember me saying that I had decided that the "heart protocol" meds the Dr. Prescribed were not really helping me at all?
Well Other than a daily baby-aspirin (which I think is a good thing) I have eschewed the cocktail they prescribed.
To date the daily BP' readings etc. have been just fine for a man of my age.
According to the NHS website at https://nhsgp.net/what-is-the-normal-blood-pressure/

"A normal blood pressure reading should be under 140/90 mmHg. This means that the systolic reading should be lower than 140mmHg, and the diastolic reading should be lower than 90mmHG.

A low blood pressure reading is 90/60 mmHg which doesn’t always indicate a health problem but can be a sign of another illness or condition.

Possible high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, gives a systolic reading of between 140 and 180 mmHg and a diastolic reading of between 90 and 110 mmHg.

A blood pressure reading that is higher than 180/110 mmHg means that you have severe hypertension."

I am happy and my BP is happy, so they can poke the beta-blockers and statins and ACE Inhibitors where the Sun shineth not.

Been like this for decades apart from the EU split changes.

When UK was in the EU taxes(Vat, import) had already been paid "somewhere" (if it wasnt made in the EU).

There's the option of the sender paying import tax and vat as part of arranging postage. Money goes to the receiving country. Problem is its not always known in advance what the charge would be. If that din't happen then the receiver paid. 'somewhere' never paid it for you. It would be tucked into the sale price unless a trade tarrif set import tax to 0 for said items delivered.

No VAT or import taxes where imposed on bringing stuff into the UK if brought in the EU, and vikky verser.

You still paid local vat on eu to eu imports before br*xit. Commercial buyers always had to. Domestic did anorl but it was only fully enforced in the uk about a decade ago when our gov made the currier responsible for the declaration. Rules and limits apply. Like gifts and limit on sovs where vat become applicable. Previous to this most pacels just went through. Now the currier completes the tax declaration for you and registers it.

I could get stuff from the UK here when the UK was still in the EU with no issue, door to door delivery.
Now since its not the same. But.

Back then it were much easier. Receiver just paid local vat if yer parcel gottid detected by local customs in the destination country.
marjon said:
I do not pay UK VAT (as long as the UK company is VAT registered) as I pay VAT Tax when it arrives here, it all works out the same ish at the end of the day.
I had to get a special number to get stuff from the UK for import purposes, still need it for some stuff but not much.

I agree yer only pay vat in the receiving country. Wot was the name of the number? Are yer buying commercially or do yer local rules insist on it for domestic imports?

Funny enough alot of UK sellers have now relised they are losing many sales, they now do all the paperwork and any taxes due so its back to door to door sales/delivery to the EU.

Br*xit knocked a lot of uk compaines for 6. The paperwork can be a pain. Problems vary depending on the receiving country. Before there were no need for shipping invoices for eu to eu, unless the receiver was a tax haven like Gibraltar. Since br*xit we have to do it fer all exports including eu. Its quicker to get stuff to oz than france sometimes. Net weight, gross weight, incoterm, hs tarrif code, naming ports and sometimes boats, air freight limits certain items, country of origin, eu vat number, itemising all items, seller declarations... The sender can tick the box to pay all taxes for the destination country but the carrier may not be able to quote them. Especially if there's oft loading charges or seperate holding/delivery charges locally. Sender can pay but will charge the buyer or leave the buyer to pick up the cost once items are posted. Once stung fer additional costs like these, buyers often go elsewhere. Its made our exports a lot more difficult. Add in problems like certain countries dun't like items made in Israel etc and it can be a nightmare. Especially if yer parcel gets stuck in customs.

The reverse is just as difficult. A lot of eu suppliers of food can't be bothered with our import rules. Especially delays at the docks where they stand to loose the goods if they go oft. Luckily other sellers have stepped in, with a higher price to match risk.

This is why there are "claim back the VAT" places at many ports of entry/exit.

@Stanleysteamer If charged should be able to claim back any VAT paid for the wine.

Now things are different;) get used to it.

EORI, its for personal use as well as business. Its just "red tape" here in BG that they cant quite let go of for private peeps. Instead of just saying you own xxx leva to us and pay *here*.

I had to get 1 when I ordered something before B but it arrived late (so after B) then I sent the confirmation to the seller and they refunded me the UK VAT, it worked out pretty much the same cost at the end of the day.

Never said he would get back UK VAT just the frog Vat.
He doesn't take wine too France does he???

I try to order stuff from the EU now to avoid any issues. But landy stuff most has to come in from the UK. Paddocks are great they clear all the paperwork, even some E-bay sellers (think its as much E-bay with the "global" thingy) so that has all the paperwork done.

Eye fink by now most sellers have gottid their head round fings if they plan to continue exporting. Its surprising how many companies in ni and ireland ain't organised. Rules fer them is phased in wiv more rules added every 8 months it seems. Some ain't registered for eori, or later xoir. Some have gone on the system to create an account but not entered the magic number. There seems to be a lot of fear around it. We refuse to ship if the online check fails. Not worf the hassel. On the bright side we dun't ship food or animals. Thas propper next level red tape.
 
Eye is now up to date wiv me licks. Has bin a busy week. Made meself another batch ov mince and veg in me slow cookerer. Pottid up un frozen fer meals later. Me mattress is coming on thursday. Me water butt pipe is delayed cos eye haddit posted to wuk and they din't put the company name on the shipping. Evri wanted to charge me to change the address but couldn't change it. Parcel already going back to sender. Eye told the sender who can redirect it but they av sent another. Me central heating started coming on on tuesday morning when me living room went below 17.5. Me squirrels av bin quiet this week. They av bin fer nuts but not many.
 
Gave in and paid me castle insurance renewal. 226 sovs. About 70 fer contents. Rest fer builderings. Builderings was wot went up. The previous years underwriter dropped away from the aa so they av taken it on themselfs. Asked ferra discount un gorra 15 sov eVoucher. Wiv peeps like martin lewis saying fight ferra discount, they is fighting back un saying no. So yer gorra go somewhere else. Me 75k sov contents ain't that. Its 60k fer me contents and 15k sov fer personal jewellery.
