  2. Hark the comment section sings
    Smoking Hot has done his 'thing'.
    Duty saved on tobacco mild
    Goods & owners reconciled.
    Joyful all ye Pirates rise
    -no longer falling for Sked lies.
    With SOT in hand proclaim
    UK borders will never be the same.

  10. "the absurdity of this reason is demonstrated by simply stating it" [as per the heading to your comments window]

    Customs Officer: "How come you can afford the cost of this tobacco?"
    Answer: "Because I had the money to buy the tobacco".

    Customs Officer: "Why are you buying so much tobacco?"
    Answer: "Because I intend to smoke it".

    The above is jocular, but incorporates the reality of the situation. If you can prove that you have the funds (even if the proof is just a credit card statement showing your limit, provided that you are under the limit) then you have nothing to fear. "The absudity of the question is in the answer".

    Essentially, proof that you can afford the tobacco that you buy is enough. There is nothing more to explain.

    You cannot 'prove' how much you smoke - you can only provide 'indications'.

    But you can cover yourself a little by writing a letter to your MP. Just say that you are going on a little holiday and any tobacco that you buy is for your own consumption. Also, write the Chief Exec of the Border Agency, saying the same thing. Cost? Two stamps!

    I am going to Majorca in Spring. I have never experienced over the last ten years a Customs stop. I do not expect such a thing. But I will be prepared.

    It costs almost nothing to be prepared. If you are prepared, any delay in your journey home, caused by Customs, is actionable on the grounds of harrasment.

    BE PREPARED!

"In the eyes of the Tribunal the review letter contained several preconceptions, prejudgments and non-sequiturs"

"the absurdity of this reason is demonstrated by simply stating it"

"We therefore find that Mr Sked misdirected himself as to the Policy in carrying out the review and his decision is therefore one that no reasonable review officer could have arrived at."

... commonly known here at N2D as 'Skeds' ... that is to say these are Judges comments regarding UKBA Review Officer Ian Sked's reasons for rejecting peoples appeals against seizures.
