I am serious, if you are a specialist trader in Europe I will pass details on to our retailers and smaller sub distributors, I have been in logistics since I was 16 now, 61, 26 years in RAF Logistics and 18 years of running my own model and import business. This is why I went from a Model fair seller to a leading Model importer in 3 to 4 years, got nothing to do with my model knowledge, which is rubbish, compared to Greg who works for me, but my knowledge of moving goods around the world.

You are right it not going to work for everybody, and yes it going to require more effort to get the goods to market, It is very sad the Big Boy are taking all the loot and they are giggling all the way to the bank, the hundreds of thousands of small business in the UK and Europe are the losers, We have had almost 50 years of doing trade with Europe where small business have had no hassle and traded with each other on a level playing field.
