Replying to @UPS_UK
@UPS_UK Yet again UPS are trying to scam me into paying import tax on a delivery that does NOT require import tax to be paid. Maybe you could actually train your agents on UK law?

@UPS_UK say the following, apparently it is @HMRCcustomers @HMRCgovuk who cannot apply the law correctly. Import dity is calculated based on the cost of the goods, EXCLUDING the delivery cost

Per law, any goods worth £135 or less (this does not include the delivery charge!) are import tax free, unless containing alcohol or Tobacco. The delivery info clearly states that this is chocolate!

@Ocado Really, are we back to April? Can’t get a slot for nearly a week. Am a longstanding SmartPass customer! Thought you had sorted these issues!

correction, can’t get a slot till 15th. I’m sick and tired of Ocado messing me about. I’ll change to Waitrose.

I'm sorry thats just not true, both from published evidence and anecdotally from wearing a mask for months on end for hours at a time. There has been no demonstrable adverse effect on any of my colleagues. I understand that they feel uncomfortable - but they aren't dangerous!

I love the way everyone is looking forward to #HalfTerm and school is not setting any work. Some of us still have to work and without child care available, my daughter doing school work is an hour where I only get interrupted every few minutes. There won’t be any #halfterm here
