Another Yank job has just occurred to me...
"Mirror".

And "squirrel".
The way they pronounce that makes me squirrem.
On the other hand, they find it weird that so many Brits say "One two free", or render "no" as "nyee". We could go on all day. Nobody's perfect.
The ",caulk" thing did make me giggle, though. Do you suppose it was staged?

Agreed! BUT the "joke" there is that UPS (and ALL other couriers here) charge a fee for "Customs Clearance" even when the actual Customs people decide that there are NO Customs fees to be charged.

Everyone would complain that there was no infrastructure, where can you fill up when the tank runs dry? Don't they catch fire more than EVs? Don't they use environmentally damaging non-renewable fossil fuels? Don't they poison the air?
is this an example of the lasting legacy of leaded petrol?
Please don't start me - not on the joke thread1
They also aren’t half the weight and will soon be double the price.
I can't get any cigars through without them sticking a huge tax on them....before the clamp down, no one cared.I don't know where this item should be, BUT, to me it's one big joke:- so here goes:- Very Strange Action by UK Customs (Border Force?). I have a 1:53 scale wooden ship kit, in which the gun carriages are very poor Britannia metal castings with oval wheels! I requested wooden replacements from the manufacturers in Spain a month ago, not having received anything, I contacted them yesterday (Sun), I had a reply today saying UK customs had rejected the packet & returned it to Spain without explanation, this was an A5 padded envelope!
Maybe they thought I was going to build these scale cannons, then try to sink 'Tin Lizzy' !!!!!!! (what with 1:53 scale cannonballs!!!!!!!!!!)
One BIG joke, when one considers what does get through.
Maybe the forced description of what exactly is in the package is the problem?
No more present or hobby stuff is acceptable as the declaration.

No problem mate. NOT sure if FedEx charge here, but UPS, DPD, DHL, and a couple of others whose names I've forgotten all definitely do.

Er... what was this thread supposed to be about again?
Years ago I read an article by a guy who imported or exported things regularly and was convinced nobody took any notice of what he specified as the package contents. To prove that he decided to put increasingly crazy descriptions until someone queried it. He gave up when nobody said anything about a package that he claimed contained "Used cries of hurray!"
