31. Amazon UK may have put prices up already...

I'm feeling better about my boots coz I just checked the Vivienne Westwood site and they've already gone up 65 Euro from what I paid earlier this month (sorry, I don't have a little Euro symbol on my keyboard). Speaking of waived customs fees, I got slugged hard when I got a surprise call from FedEx telling me that because the boots went over the import threshold by a few dollars I'd have to pay $250 in taxes and import duty when they got here. Ouch....

I'm in Australia and we've got trade agreements with the EU as the UK is one of our main trading partners. So if they do leave the EU things will have to go back to what they were before 1973 and we'll have a separate bilateral agreement with them.

I think it's going to end up being a very long and very messy process if the UK does end up leaving the EU, and I'm not entirely convinced that'll end up happening...
