Arjan Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Now, this is NOT about the virus or politics. Merely a post to air some of the frustration... I need to visit clients in the UK and to collect some LR stuff (like a Ninety roof) in a 2 - 3 days max. - trip How the F..k am I to do that with this 14 days having to stay locked up idiocy ? Truckdrivers, diplomats whoever no problem People like me having to do business are effectively banned from doing business.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrycol Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Get over it Sunshine - fact of life - here in Australia we have to go into 14 days isolation even if we cross a State border - let alone come in across the international border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightpot Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I've had a container full of rooftents stuck invDurban since March, might just get to the UK in time for winter if I'm lucky. Looks like I'll have to cancel my December flights to joburg as well as they aren't letting anyone in till February.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjan Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 I can cross many Borders - and I will be soon as the works is piling up... It is just that the UK holds also LR bits one does not post (try getting a quote for a Ninety roof....) We're still running a lot of trains everywhere on 3 Continents - so a lot of work - but passenger traffic seems to have stopped. "...post your Anvil..." ? I have to go North and will come your way. Rather bring you a good Pie ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Sadly so many of the rules they just haven't thought through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightpot Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I posted a Range Rover roof panel to Italy a couple of years ago using a courier - wasn't that expensive, though it did look like a jamaican steel drum by the time it arrived... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
