new shipping problems,
A mate who works, for the company, in sydney, rang the other day to say, they just got a box [20ft container] in from the uk ,with Bullet holes in the side[2] , customs reckon this is becoming an increasing problem, with increase in weapons in the middle east, ships traversing, the suez canal are slow moving targets for any one with anti - western sentiment. minimal damage was caused, apparently, at least they cant blame the removalist
