Michael and  Kevin,
Thanks for the quick replies, I'd done a bit of research via google and 
different reflectors, it seems that in the past there were some problems 
importing stuff into the UK with some people having to pay VAT, customs 
and a handling charge! Thankfully that seems to be a thing of the past. 
I'm waiting for my brother (Gi7JLD) to arrive with his credit card so I 
can order. I wonder will there be a problem with the mailing address 
being different to that of the card holder? I'll really have to get 
myself a card someday... :-)
