Am I right or was she ?

[DEN53]

I have just taken a parcel to the main Post Office - it is going to Norway - the girl behind the counter said I must fill out a Customs Form - I said thats wrong because they are in Europe and you only fill Customs Forms out for USA, Australia, NZ ,Japan etc etc.

She said Norway are not in Europe - by this time we had starting arguing back and forth - I then told her that they won the bloody EUROVISION SONG CONTEST on Saturday night. To which she replied - 'did they'.

You are right. They did win Eurovision.

oh, DEN pet, they aren't in the EU,,,, they held a referendum on it and opted to stay out,,,,sorryyyyy!!!

[craft1948]

did she take your parcel?

[Bobbisox]

they would have been in the E.song contest only because of where they are geographically,,,

And the answer to the next obvious question here is....

The simple answer is that they are all members of the European Broadcasting Union, a conglomerate of public service broadcasters grouping together to assist each other with new technologies and to promote collaboration with each other. With associate members around the world (including Canadian and Australlian broadcasters), the rules for entry to Eurovision are relatively simple: you need to be a full member of the EBU and be inside the European Broadcasting Area, and that isn�t solely based on mainland Europe.

hello craft love how are you ???

[Bobbisox]

DEN are you in Facebook, y'know when I said I would like to keep in touch , maybe we could through there, or do you think that would be unsafe pet?

[Bbbananas]

they may not be in the EU or EEC or whatever - but they are certainly in the continent of Europe.

Silly cow. (Her - not you Den)

[DEN53]

I did fill the Customs Form out and it was posted.

Thanks for your answers.

hello bobbi I'm fine but tired thank you...

hello vibra....is it a big one?

[DEN53]

Yes Joy, I am on Facebook - but only joined last year when my god daughter went to work in the USA at Camp Thunderbird in Miami - so I could see her photos, I joined.

I have'nt got a photo of me on the site and I don't really use it, but if you want to communicate off here, I suppose thats a good way. I think you can filter out people you don't want to be friends etc.

[craft1948]

oh thank you vibra.........I've been at my sisters for a couple of days

[DEN53]

Afternoon Salla - I know,its so confusing - silly part is, I post loads of parcels all over the world (I sell on Ebay) and have done to Norway before and have never filled a customs form out for them. On that basis, the other post offices must have been wrong !!

[Bobbisox]

yes I believe you can do that DEN, I do have a photo of me on there, tho' very rare use the FB site,

[DEN53]

I'll ask my son when he gets in Joy - the dos and don'ts of Facebook - he will know if its safe.

[Bobbisox]

ok love you do that,,,x
