Re: Am furious....
Yes and then spend insurance money on yourself, being pampered before you go....new hair-do, clothes...san tropez tan (so you don't look to pale when you arrive in Oz), shoes, bags, expensive wines and chocolates....I could go on but I think you get the jist!

So, after my rant , my question is this. Do tools have to be spotlessly clean for customs? They've never been used outside so there's no danger of soil etc on them, just oil and rust. There's no way I've got time to clean them all. I hope someone can answer this. If not, do you have the instructions for making a bomb? That would solve all my problems .

We were up in Stirling today checking out the car boot sale at Kildean as we're having a major clear out and hoping to do a car boot soon. Anyway, there were quite a few folks selling tools etc. Might be worth chucking it all in the back of the car next Saturday night and get yourself up there first thing Sunday. Anything you don't sell, take it to the tip on the way home.
Did you sell your house with Remax BTW? Had their guy round last week to value us for selling and he said he's just sold a house for someone "down the road" who's also emigrating. It's either you, or half of Falkirk's decamping to OZ (and who'd blame them?)

Re: Am furious....
I'd phone the local scrap yard and see if they would pay for any of the car bits and then go on a shopping spree!

Firstly, I would haul his lazy arse back to sort it!
If that fails, get rid of the lot.
Yes, they have to be very clean! Sounds like a mammouth task!
Poor you! Good luck!
