Snake Skin in Container...whoops!!! be warned.
Hi...
We just had call off Pickfords to see what we wanted to do about the snake skin that was holding up our container.
Turns out that customs had opened a box out of our son's bedroom with a photo of our son holding a 8ft python in Tenerife, after the show he was allowed to take some snake skin it had cast with him. He'd kept it ever since tucked behind the photo in it's plastic sleeve.
Don't know if sniffed dog found it or if they'd been through everything. We had forgot it was even there. Just shows they check things you don't expect them to...

Talking to Pickford on the phone sounds like they just wanted to know what we wanted to do with it - I told them to throw the f***ing thin in th ebin - didn't even know it had been packed!!!!!! :scared:

At Melbourne Airport once a sniffer dog went berserk at the smell of where an apple had been in Mrs OzT's hand luggage. :scared: She'd eaten the apple in Dubai on the way!! The guy on the end of the dog's lead was satisfied of this after he had emptied the bag.

We didn't even remember it was there years since we have been to Tenerife and they must have realised from the snake donned kid that it was a souvenier shot....can't bloody win...gave the bbq, the bikes, the grass cutter, the strimmer and the rest of the garden gear away and they get us on the bloody snake skin... :scared: .
