ebay mike's excursion destinations.

Shit happens.
Ebay Mike came back to me:
Return to Sender
No CN22/23
Refused by Customs

...

???
I asked the shop assistant in the post shop if there was anything I needed to be aware of and was told - No. So he left Wuppertal on 20 January 2025. Too bad, but Ebay Mike is now a migrant and can no longer return to England. ;-))

Sorry Duncan, I'l try it again tomorrow .

I am somewhat perturbed that I appear to have been denied travel by a customs official. Is it the UK who have put the mockers on it? If so could someone please find me a G scale rubber dingy - that should expedite matters, plus I'll get a new phone, change of clothes, free grub and somewhere to live and a bit of pocket money.

No, I assume that as Mini Mike was travelling before Brexit... He probably doesn't have the correct documents with him?

Use customs code: 9503003000

That should do the trick..

Don't you need a special visa to enter Yorkshire?

For all but about five years of my life I've lived in Yorkshire and what has always struck me as funny was that as you crossed the River Don going north there was a sign on the A1 with the legend "The North".

Welcome back to UK Mike, quite a bit has changed since you went away.

 

[Northsider]

Glad to see Mike is still on the move, currently with @duncan1_9_8_4 . What started as a diversion in c o v i d is still providing enjoyment!
Posting here as I can't find the comments thread for Mike's travels, and don't want to intrude on the photo thread...

Edit: c asterisk vid is now getting changed to 'Flu'!

 

[duncan1_9_8_4]

Where will he be going next?

 

[PhilP]

Has been for ages....

Tin-foil hats, all round! *


*I HATE THAT!!!
Never has been 'tin-foil'.. No one buys it. No one cooks with it as an aid......
Nearly as bad as the Damn Yankees, not being able to pronounce al-um-in-ium!

Can ebay Mike drive a lawnmower ?

Either you guys added an "I" or most likely we eliminated one. We like to be different.....

 

[Jasper]

Actually the original word was "alumium". So perhaps someone added "ni" then someone else dropped the "i" again.

If you have one his size, I suppose it's no problem.

The first post had a big list of where he had been and where he was going. But I think that it may be well out of date by now.Last update in 2020. I must go through here and update that list, sure @ebay mike would not mind?
