er....... dilemma! Thinking of buying a laptop for my Dad in Walmart - Seen one at $500. I'm coming back from our hols on my own so only have the £145 allowance.

I brought back a new case full of birthday and christmas presents two weeks ago. I'm glad they were all asleep.lol!!!

lol... a good little read... I think the whole thing is silly, charging us for goods we paid for on money that was taxed when we earnt it and taxed when we save it... and again taxed when we buy it over there
