    I'm sensing a touch of bitterness of late...has your missus run off with the milkman o_O

    Or is it still........THE postage issue :eek:

    Always remember......life could be worse..

    You could be living in the Midlands with only a cat cushion for company...:)

    Aye, but then I'd have my MV F4..

    On both accounts, by the way. if the missus left I would buy the MV. If I were in the Midlands with a cat cushion, I'd already have one in the house!

    Talking of MVs and postage, I only recently scored an MV Battery Charger off the MV forum. Was USA based and cost US$30.00. Pretty fair price on the face of it.

    Of course I knew shipping would cost me. Turned out to be US$40.00 with UPS. Yep, getting foolish, I'm paying over the odds. By the way, we're talking about a guy with 7 friggin' Optimisers hooked up around the joint!!:rolleyes:

    So, I'm prepared for this massive hit when I get an email from the seller saying that I might be hit for VAT. Ah well, won't be much, just another six quid or so. But the seller does me a favour and notes the sale price at US$20.00.

    Today, I collect from local Post Office and find that I have been levied £8.00 Royal Mail 'handling charge' PLUS £6.43 in VAT. So, my $30.00 battery charger has cost me £72.86:eek::rolleyes:. Stupid thing is that I won't even use it; it just becomes part of the 'MV Collection'. My only consolation is that if/when I sell it (after withdrawing it from my Will to @Spygoat - sorry:( ) some bastard is going to pay through the nose for this piece of 'Motorcycle' Art.':D

    Also don't just plug it into a converter if it's US Spec, as they are 110v instead of 240v, things go bang.

    Good point well made - I had forgotten the voltage issue

    I remember watching a video about a grilled cheese maker imported from the states, and thought it was really bad that it just set on fire repeatedly.

    Cheers guys. As stated, it's only a decorative piece. I had not even looked at the voltage and you're right: 110 - 120V. Had I have wanted to use it, I would have done the 'male thing' and banged it straight into a travel plug adaptor without reading instructions.

    I now know what the consequences might have been.:eek::eek::)

    Yes, I am a fool. Had I have foreseen more I wouldn't have bought it.

    But still, I got what I wanted and I got no wife to seize it in a divorce payout so for me it's win/win!!:D:D

    He's probably got an MV fire extinguisher...so the excitement wouldn't last long :(....unless it's a Chinese one given his penchant for the oriental....in which case the whole of the West Midlands could be charcoal by morning :D

    And the frequency.

    May not be a problem with a battery charger, but it is an Italian battery charger ;)
