Please don't misunderstand me! I told the *seller* I was in Ireland;
that is why he should have known I was not in the UK. In fact I was
explicitly asking him if he would ship *outside* the UK. There's no
reason anyone *here* should know that.

Ireland is in the EU, along with the UK. Ireland is not in the UK.
Northern Ireland is in the UK. This is quite a sensitive matter to the
Irish, to put it mildly.

I hope not! Unless there are some cruel zoos around, but I don't think
so. No snakes either. But there are eels, herons and only one species
of lizard, which I was lucky enough to observe on a single occasion.

Bought the FR-2LE hoping postage etc. gets sorted. My need for a
Jecklin disk just went up a notch.
