They think they've done something illegal ...afterall isn't the Customs Officer telling them this? ... and he should know shouldn't he?... Yes, he should know bloody well better!<br /><br />l hate hearing reports like yours. Not only do l believe it's unethical ... it's just so damn wrong.<br /><br />Bet your grandad didn't get a confiscation form as Customs are legally obliged to do, did he? l doubt he did, he just left them with a man in a uniform. Wonder what happened to them?<br /><br />http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/customs-haul-of-cigarettes-and-alcohol-sold-on-streets-illegally-610682.htmlSmoking Hothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04534745989363293923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430921577426368890.post-26857142011414423162010-06-02T11:15:38.548+01:002010-06-02T11:15:38.548+01:00liverpool airport took my grandads cigs. scared hi...liverpool airport took my grandads cigs. scared him to death with a threat of you can just leave em and go or well have to ask you questions and you'll goto to court. my grandad only had 10 sleeves. customs are bastards!Walkabouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12680193915211218124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430921577426368890.post-40019084517054910962010-06-02T01:55:48.099+01:002010-06-02T01:55:48.099+01:00My wife understands this all too well.

She's a stunning lady and like you travelled a great deal with her profession from UK to another country in the EU.<br /><br />Her luggage too was only the small flight case but that didn't stop UK Customs searching it on more than one occassion.
