If you're in that neck of the woods, Jasper national park is well worth a visit.

[Sundayjumper]

We didn't get as far as Jasper but we visited Banff and Lake Louise. What I really want to do is a loop from Calgary to Vancouver & back. Hire a camper van in one direction and do a leisurely drive, camping in several places, then get the train back - a different but also awesome perspective of the Rockies. It all works out quite expensive though.

I thought "there's probably a Canada here", googled Canada UK; nothing, so I went for the Canadia Road I know, you post that and...oh, ah, erm...I've been there

I remember being sent to a “Little Canada” as punishment for school Geography coursework on the IoW. Spend a whole fucking week measuring tides

NI protocol looks to be moving forward

Edit - as for sending stuff to NI the whoo harr about this isnt a problem if you fill in your declarations properly.
Sent job on a next day last week to Belfast, delivered on time with zero delay.

£50 import duty/tax. Got a text/email from the delivery company saying they'll throw my stuff in the sea unless I pay it now.

SJ, bit of a result with that cover from the Canada!

Bought some judo trousers from DanRho in Germany. £15. £14 shipping. Shipped the next day via UPS and arrived two weeks later after languishing in customs for 10 days.

I've bought entire suits from them previously for half the shipping cost and it's turned up within 2 days. Thanks Brexit.

Can't you buy British Judo gear... for British People ???

I guess I could have, but all my suits are Dan Rho. They're really good quality, don't cost a fortune and most importantly don't shrink in the wash. I've known people spent £150 on a Fighting Films gi, wear it once, washed it and had to sell it as it didn't fit any more. I've also known people buy large in anticipation of shrinkage and then they've stayed the same size.

Hang on you bought something for 15 pounds with 14 pounds shipping from the EU - one would ask why you cant buy the same thing in the UK for more with cheaper shipping and no tax? Or is this just too sensible?

Dan Rho are a German company and I can't buy their stuff in the UK. If I could I would have.

Business opportunity!

The international supply chain is falling apart just now so it seems like the ideal time to go into business as an importer

Of an extremely niche item

Thought judo was popular not niche?? 40k people all needing a little suit.

yeah, if you can target all of those 40k people with a 10% margin on all those £15 suits - you might make £60k a year gross profit (if every single one buys a new suit every year.. from you ...somehow.. then have to actually distribute them...oh)

Drop ship.

£30.00 inc delivery and tax - fiver on each say you sell 5000 so that 25k revenue and you obviously sell different colour belts too as I hear they need them. I would imagine if you sold sports goods already it would be easy to set up. Just a matter of time now I've pointed it out on the most popular BB in the UK.
