Europe VAT laws not changing any time soon, recent. If understand FAQ well, mean shipping to Europe impossible for several years minimum?

That's correct, I won't be shipping to the EU for the foreseeable future due to some import packaging regulations that either have already been implemented or are planning to be implemented in the future.

Note that this is for EU countries only—I can ship to all other non-EU countries like Switzerland, except for the UK due to the UK's own convoluted VAT system.

The only workaround I can offer for EU folks is that you can have a friend or family that lives in a non-EU country place an order to deliver to their address, and then they are able to ship that order to you marked as a gift. Not an option for everyone, I know.

Longer explanation under the readmore for those curious:

As it stands now, each EU country has its own system and fees that I can't keep up with (for example, France would cost me 80 euros per year), I'd need to individually register and report to each country, some require reporting and tracking of what sources of packaging I use, I believe? It's all very complicated, and it makes my head spin just trying to figure out what the requirements actually are, so that's why I stopped shipping to the EU entirely out of an abundance of caution. I also just don't get enough sales to the EU to justify the headache, I'd probably actually lose money paying all the fees. Actually, while I was looking up details while writing this post, apparently there's a new PPWR that's going to replace the old EU Packaging Directive? This is why I can't handle this (ಥ﹏ಥ)

As for why this doesn't seem to be affecting all companies—corporations can obviously afford their own professionals whose entire job is to handle this stuff, and the requirements are also different for large vs small volumes. Meanwhile, a lot of other small or 1-person businesses straight up don't know about these requirements, because it's not like there's a memo passed around about updates to international shipping law. It's also even more confusing because some packages are slipping by without any issue, probably in part due to how the regulations are still new and still being implemented, so I assume it's kind of a mess.

I know of a few people who are willingly taking the risk and shipping to the EU anyway and have had no consequences (for now at least), but I'm not risking the fines ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now for the UK, their VAT system doesn't have anything to do with packaging, but what it does require is similar registration with the government, and I'm required to collect and pay the VAT myself. No thanks!

TLDR; laws hard. laws also expensive. too stupid to figure out and too fearful of fines. no ship to countries

fun story: someone also once emailed me this long diatribe about how they think I'm shit at research and that I'm just making all this up (specifically just to screw with europeans or something, I guess?), so I sent them a few links to the literal official government websites where I got my info (like that UK one), and they never responded. lol

1963 AC SHELBY COBRA

1963 AC SHELBY COBRA 4.7-LITRE MARK II ROADSTER  REGISTRATION NO. OYM 28A CHASSIS NO. CSK2116 ENGINE NO. CSX2116

Footnotes

Rightly regarded as one of the all-time great classic sports cars, the muscular, fire-breathing Cobra succeeded in capturing the hearts of enthusiasts like few of its contemporaries. Only 1,000-or-so Cobras of all types were built between 1962 and 1967, but such was the model's enduring popularity that production was resumed in 1982 under the auspices of Brooklands-based Autokraft. 

Convinced that a market existed for an inexpensive sports car combining European chassis engineering and American V8 power, Le Mans-winning Texan racing driver Carroll Shelby concocted an unlikely alliance between AC Cars and the Ford Motor Company. The former's Ace provided the simple twin-tube chassis frame - designed by John Tojeiro - into which was persuaded one of Ford's lightweight, small-block V8s. It was discovered that the latter was lighter than the six-cylinder Ford Zephyr unit that AC was using, yet with vastly greater potential. To cope with the projected power increase, the Ace chassis was strengthened with heavier gauge tubing and supplied fitted with four-wheel disc brakes. Weighing a mere 1.5cwt more than a Bristol-engined Ace yet endowed with double the power and torque, the Cobra turned in a breathtaking performance, racing to 60mph in 4.4 seconds and reaching the 'ton' in under 12, exceptional figures by early 1960s standards and none too shabby even today.

The 260ci (4.2-litre) prototype first ran in January 1962, with production commencing later that year. Exclusively for the USA initially, Cobras - minus engines - were sent from England to be finished off by Shelby in California, and it was not until late in 1963 that AC Cars in Thames Ditton got around to building the first fully finished cars to European specification. 

After 75 Cobras had been built with the 260ci engine, the more powerful 289ci (4.7-litre) unit was standardised in 1963. Rack-and-pinion steering was the major MkII up-date; then in 1965 a new, stronger, coil-suspended MkIII chassis was introduced to accommodate Ford's 427ci (7.0-litre) V8, an engine that in race trim was capable of producing well in excess of 400bhp. Wider bodywork, extended wheelarch flares and a bigger radiator intake combined to create the definitive - and much copied - Cobra MkIII look. Keeping ahead of the competition on the racetrack had been the spur behind Shelby's adoption of the 427 engine, but some MkIIIs to 'street' specification came with Ford's less powerful 428ci hydraulic-lifter V8. 

But for Brian Angliss, the Cobra story would have ended in 1967. The Autokraft boss had built up a business restoring Cobras and supplying parts, and in the early 1980s acquired the rights to the AC name plus a quantity of jigs and tooling from the old Thames Ditton factory. Keeping the overall style of the MkIII, Autokraft produced the MkIV, which was appropriately updated to meet current legislation and powered by a 'Federalised' Ford 5.0-litre V8 engine. Around 480 were built. 

Chassis number 'CSX2116' was invoiced to Shelby American on 16th April 1963 and shipped to Los Angeles three days later aboard the 'SS Loch Gowan'. Invoiced on 18th June 1963 to Burton Motors of Sacramento, California, the Cobra was sold new to a local doctor who used it for a few years before giving it to his daughter. She used the car as daily transport for several years before the clutch failed, at which time it was sold to Steve Dangremond of Santa Rosa, California. The Cobra was advertised for sale by Mr Dangremond in late 1977 and bought by Dr Grant Hill of Chotoka, Alberta. Dr Hill fitted Weber carburettors and raced 'CSX2116', eventually trading it to Fred Yule in Portland, Oregon. At that time, the car was still finished in its original colour scheme of dark blue and retained its original black leather interior. 

'CSX2116' returned to the UK in the late 1980s and was advertised through Hampson's Ltd, by which time it had been refinished in red and fitted with a full-width roll bar. Subsequent owners in England were Dr Carlos Barbot, Trojan boss Peter Agg and Formula 1 racing driver Rupert Keegan. 'CSX2116' was last restored in 1988, records on file indicating that an extensive mechanical restoration was undertaken at this time. The car still retains its original black leather interior though the Weber carburettors have gone, replaced by an easier to maintain four-barrel Holley. There is considerable additional accompanying documentation including correspondence between previous owners, a copy of the original bill of sale, Shelby American Automobile Club letter of authentication, FIA papers and Swansea V5 registration document. The car has belonged to the current owner since 2006.  Early Cobras are offered for sale only rarely and this example represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a fine example of this classic of Anglo-American sports car design.

Here are some examples of tweed suits:

These suits were commonplace at the time as outerwear as they coped well with the British climate; remember this is January and it can be quite cold even though snow is pretty uncommon these days in Southern England.

Police tape did not come around until the 1960s. Until then, crime scene security involved police officers standing guard, a rather hard task in the countryside.

Individuals cannot purchase weapons from them directly though; you have to go through an authorised firearms dealer. They do not do shotguns, sawed-off or otherwise.

Big taxes will be imposed on imports of electric vehicles from China to the EU after the majority of member states backed the plans.

The move to introduce tariffs aims to protect the European car industry from being undermined by what EU politicians believe are unfair Chinese-state subsidies on its own cars.

Tariffs on electric cars made in China are set to rise from 10% to up to 45% for the next five years, but there have been concerns such a move could raise electric vehicle (EV) prices for buyers.

The decision, which split EU member states such as France and Germany, risks sparking a trade war between Brussels and Beijing, which has condemned the tariffs as protectionist.

China has been counting on high-tech products to help revive its flagging economy and the EU is the largest overseas market for the country's electric car industry.

Its domestic car industry has grown rapidly over the past two decades and its brands, such as BYD, have begun moving into international markets, prompting fears from the likes of the EU that its own companies will be unable to compete with the cheaper prices.

The EU imposed import tariffs of varying levels on different Chinese manufacturers in the summer, but Friday's vote was to decide if they were implemented for the next five years.

The charges were calculated based on estimates of how much Chinese state aid each manufacturer has received following an EU investigation. The European Commission set individual duties on three major Chinese EV brands - SAIC, BYD and Geely.

EU members were divided on tariffs. Germany, whose car manufacturing industry is heavily dependent on exports to China, was against them. Many EU members abstained in the vote.

German carmakers have been vocal in opposition. Volkswagen says tariffs are "the wrong approach".

However, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland were reported to have backed the import taxes. The tariffs proposal could only have been blocked if a qualified majority of 15 members voted against it.

Germany's top industry association, BDI, called on the European Union and China to continue trade talks over tariffs to avoid an "escalating trade conflict".

The European Commission, which held the vote, said the EU and China would "work hard to explore an alternative solution" to the import taxes to address what it called "injurious subsidisation" of Chinese electric vehicles.

China's Commerce Ministry called the decision to impose tariffs "unfair" and "unreasonable", but added the issue could be resolved through negotiations.

The dispute has raised fears among industry groups outside the car sector that they could face retaliatory tariffs from China.

A trade body for the French cognac industry said the French authorities "have abandoned us".

"We do not understand why our sector is being sacrificed in this way."

It said a negotiated solution needed to be found that would "prevent our products from facing a surtax that could exclude them from the Chinese market".

'Serious concerns' over UK sales

Figures show that in August this year, EU registrations of battery-electric cars fell by 43.9% from a year earlier.

In the UK, demand for new electric vehicles hit a new record in September, but orders were mostly driven by commercial deals and by big manufacturer discounts, according to the industry trade body.

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said firms had "serious concerns as the market is not growing quickly enough to meet mandated targets".

The industry has warned that drivers need better incentives to buy electric to help manufacturers ahead of the planned ban on sales of new petrol and diesel vehicles. Under the Conservative government the deadline for this ban was pushed back to 2035 from 2030, but Labour has pledged to bring it back to 2030.

Car makers are required to meet electric vehicle sales targets. Under the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate, at least 22% of vehicles sold this year must be zero-emission, with the target expected to hit 80% by 2030 and 100% by 2035.

Manufacturers that fail to hit quotas could be fined £15,000 per car.

The bosses of several car companies, including BMW, Ford and Nissan, wrote to Chancellor Rachel Reeves on Friday saying the industry was likely to miss these targets.

They said economic factors such as higher energy and material costs and interest rates had meant electric cars remained "stubbornly more expensive and consumers are wary of investing". The average cost to buy an electric car in the UK is around £48,000.

They said a "lack of confidence" in the UK’s charging infrastructure was another barrier to encourage people to switch to electric.

#3 Volvo EX30 — The China-made (but with a Swedish passport) crossover is starting to live up to the hype, jumping to the 3rd spot on the table in only its 3rd full month on the market. The model had 7,642 registrations in March. Note that its slightly bigger, but much older, sibling, the XC40 (recently renamed EX40), does not seem affected by this, with the Belgian-made SUV scoring its best result in 10 months (5,595 registrations in March). Expect the EX30’s sales to continue strong in the coming months, maybe even crossing the five-digit barrier (fingers crossed). Currently Volvo’s cheapest model(!), starting out at 39,000 euros vs. the 40,000 euros of the gasoline XC40, the EX30 is Volvo’s smallest model — the size of a VW ID.3. While it cannot be considered cheap (for that it would have to cost less than 35,000 euros), it can nevertheless be considered well priced, especially considering the premium standing it holds. Regarding the EX30’s March results, the distribution of deliveries show a push in three markets, with the UK (1,510 units), France (1,388 units), and the Netherlands (1,173 units) being the only ones above 1,000 deliveries, followed from afar by Sweden (652 units)(..)

P.S. The Volvo EX30 example well illustrates the mechanism of how American ICE vehicle manufacturers and the other companies that do not produce affordable electric cars will be kicked out of the European car market...! Tesla is too expensive and fails to offer a viable alternative to replace mass market ICE vehicles, but the Volvo EX30 is a completely different story: reasonable size perfect for Europe, acceptable range, good speed and quite reasonable price...! So, actually Tesla had lost affordable EV competition...

What’s-on-Netflix today is saying that White Stork is happening. Is this a legitimate source? Looks legit.

2) Saney have you seen this thing about White Stork? I'm not buying it

And you shouldn't. Whats-on-Netflix is nothing more than a clickbait site. It ran the same story (virtually word for word) 2 years ago.

It also literally has this in the 'article' (and I use that term loosely):

IMDb Pro has reported in the production status timeline of the series that filming had begun on September 16th, 2021, and ended on January 10th, 2022. However, as of August 23rd, 2022, the production status of White Stork was listed as unknown. Production updates listed by IMDb Pro should be taken with plenty of caution as there are no sources to verify the information.

Another one of our sources currently has White Stork listed for pre-production.

This is what is currently listed on IMDb Pro.

Except we know he didn't film anything in the fall of 2021, as he was spotted elsewhere, and was doing The Play What I Wrote. There was never any other cast announced for WS -- because it wasn't happening. And that's not the normal progression of production - it would go from post-production to released or have a release date, not back to Production Unknown... So that apparent change in status was nothing more than a random troll.

Because at the same time, this was happening with the actual production company:

July 2021 account statement filed with the UK government

They were planning to break up the production company due to not having the main cast member (that would be Tom). Note the words production abandoned - not 'on hold', but 'abandoned'.

And then the official filing to dissolve the production unit in March 2022.

Full dissolution - June 2022

You can't produce anything without a production company to pay the bills.

All information publicly available via Companies House, the UK Government's official listing of all company registrations.

Furthermore, the project is no longer listed on the Eleven Films website - at all. Not even the original news item from 2020. You can check for yourself, but there's no mention of it.

So 1) Don't believe clickbait sites like What's On Netflix; they're just regurgitating stuff they wrote years ago.

and 2) Don't always believe IMDb, since it's editable by trolls. IMDb Pro less so, because you generally have to provide proof for updates, but not 100% guaranteed.

Anyway, White Stork isn't happening. At least not with Tom or Eleven Films involved at this point.

‘Life in a box’: young autistic man confined in hospital’s former file room | News | The Sunday Times

His sectioning is subject to a rolling review and he can be discharged at any time by the doctor in charge of his care. It means the Priory, a private company receiving large amounts of NHS funding for his care, is also in charge of deciding whether he is fit for release. There is no suggestion that Patient A’s funding has had an influence on his care plan at the hospital...

Patient A is stuck inside a system the government vowed to fix in 2011, after the abuse of adults with autism and severe learning disabilities was exposed by the BBC’s flagship investigations programme, Panorama...

In 2015 NHS England launched its Transforming Care programme, which aimed to reduce the number of autistic people and those with learning disabilities in mental health hospitals. But while the number of people with learning difficulties in hospitals has fallen, the number of autistic people in mental health hospitals has risen by 59 per cent since 2015 to 700 (autistic people only), according to NHS figures. When taking into account autistic people with and without learning difficulties, the figures have risen from 1,100 in 2015 to 1,215 today.

“People can deteriorate because the environment is not right for them and that can make their behaviour worse,” said Dan Scorer, Mencap’s policy expert...

Experts say that for those with autism, being confined in a unit such as Patient A’s exacerbates aggressive behaviour. As a result they become trapped in a vicious cycle of overmedication and ever more draconian restrictions on their liberty.

“People with autism can have sensory problems. They need the right space to live in. A nice garden. The correct lighting. A comfortable home,” says Alicia Wood, who has studied the effects of long-term segregation on people with autism and learning disabilities for the government’s oversight panel, led by Baroness Hollins.

Some are left “traumatised” after long-term inpatient care. Moving out can initiate a period of three to six months in which “their behaviour can be extremely challenging.”

I've been watching him enjoying Kitchin’s restaurants and their comments as much as He hopes his fans will. But KORA’s welcome got my attention.

Perhaps his first venture in Scotland is into food as well…..🤷

His visits to restaurants or distilleries were looking to copy ideas as tutored tasting of whiskies in Johnnie Walker Explorers' Bothy bar, Glenturret Distillery and The Glenturret Lalique Restaurant The Famous Grouse Experience with Alex last year was very well known.

Many ideas seem to be at the top of the speculation list about his venture, but this current record recognised by a memorandum of association + articles of association is recent (ten days). In the UK, every company is required to have a memorandum. They all have the same format and contain the same information.

Once he has registered his company (appointed on 31/01/2023), a certificate of incorporation will be sent to him, with the full name of the company and unique registration number. He can start trading through his new company as soon as he receives a notification that was approved his application. This can take up to 10 days. Therefore, he has the confirmation of arrival or still awaiting it. He must wait before deciding the next steps.

It's important to observe the rules....

LATHA ÙR nature of business in UK Standard Industrial Classification is Manufacture of beverages 11010 Distilling, rectifying and blending of spirits, It’s not in hospitality Trade Class.

A distillery’s not a brewery. The distillery makes hard alcohol like whisky, gin, vodka, rum, etc. The process of making distilled spirits starts much of the same as making beer but he’s not going to brew beer. He does not have a multidisciplinary farm distillery that experiences the entire process of making vodka, gin, and whisky. But a tasting tour ending with a complementary Gin cocktail at the bar would not be bad for the price he’ll charge for the tour.

Everything You Need to Know About MOT Expiry Dates

MOT is a legal requirement if you want to continue driving your car. It is a government-mandated test that checks the roadworthiness of a vehicle and ensures whether it's safe for driving on the road along with its environmental impact. Thus, it is very important for a car owner to pass the MOT inspection. However, oftentimes, people end up with an expired MOT certificate. This can be due to a lot of factors. So, what happens next? The following blog includes everything that one should know about MOT expiry and how to deal with it.

When Does An MOT Expire?

You have to understand that a typical MOT certificate lasts only a year. Since it is an annual test, you have to appear for MOT in Reading, every year and keep passing the tests to continue driving the vehicle. Thus, you should always book your upcoming MOT test at least one month before the expiry of your current certificate to prevent any legal trouble. 

Will The MOT Be Valid On Expiry?

The MOT is a great initiative to ensure road safety and eco-friendliness. Thus, cars have to meet certain standards if they are to be driven on UK roads. Any car that is at least three years old from the date of its registration has to go for the MOT test. Passing the test will award you a certificate that is valid for a year. During this year, you can drive the car without any worries. However, once the certificate expires, you can’t legally drive the vehicle. So, you have to reappear for the test and pass it again. Otherwise, you might be fined up to £1000 and might even have the vehicle insurance invalidated. 

Why Should You Check Your MOT Due Date?

Keeping abreast with your MOT is crucial if you want to avoid legal trouble and fines. Normally, your MOT due date is the last day you can go for a retest. This marks the validity of your current certificate. If you miss this due date, then your car will no longer be legally fit for driving, thus making MOT certification pretty crucial. 

When you go for regular car servicing in Reading, the mechanics do a proper inspection of your car and carry out the required repairs. This helps a lot with your MOT. You can always go for your annual car servicing and MOT simultaneously without worries. Just make sure to get your MOT at a DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) approved center. 

You are free to go for a MOT retest anytime before your certificate expires, as long as there is a month remaining on your current MOT’s validity. This will make it so that your due date remains the same for the next year. However, if you miss the due date, you can't drive your car without getting a new certificate. 

Can you drive After Your MOT Expires?

No, once your current MOT expires, you can’t legally drive your car on UK roads. However, an exception can be made if you are driving to an MOT center and have a pre-booked appointment. If not, you can land in legal trouble and can be fined up to £1000. This can also jeopardize your car insurance and lead to huge expenses. 

What Happens When The MOT Expired 3 Months Ago?

No matter when your MOT expires, be it 3 days, weeks, months, or years, you can’t continue driving the same car no matter what. As long as you stop using the car, there will be no trouble, even if years go by. However, to drive the same car, especially one whose MOT has expired already, is a severe traffic violation and can land you in legal trouble. 

Will An Expired MOT Invalidate Your Insurance?

There is typically a lot of confusion surrounding MOTs, how they work, and the legalities that surround them. Although they have been in effect since the better half of a century, going back to 1961, people still find themselves confused, especially when it comes to the impact of driving with an expired MOT. 

Believe it or not, most car insurance companies require you to pass an MOT or at least drive with a valid MOT, otherwise you risk the invalidity of your insurance. 

When Should You Renew Your MOT?

Ideally, you should get your MOT renewed one month before its expiry. Although you are free to get a new MOT test after the current certificate expires, it might land you in trouble. So it's always better to err on the side of caution and get a renewal at least 29 days before the current expiry. 

Will You Be Fined For An Expired MOT?

As it is a legal requirement, driving without a valid MOT is a crime, and you can be fined for it. This can result in penalty points against your license, and you can be fined up to £1000. 

Is There A Grace Period?

No, there is no grace period when it comes to MOT. Although many people believe there to be one, driving without a valid MOT is a crime, and you won’t get any extension to get a new MOT if you are caught driving without one. Thus, it's prudent to pre-book an MOT test and renew your certificate in advance if you want to avoid heavy fines.

In a significant legal victory for Google, the UK High Court has ruled in favor of the tech giant in a trademark dispute concerning its popular platform, YouTube Shorts. This decision not only has implications for Google's branding strategies but also highlights the complexities surrounding intellectual property rights in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. The case originated when Shorts International, a UK-based company renowned for its short film offerings, filed a lawsuit against Google over the use of the term "Shorts." The company argued that Google's video-sharing platform was infringing on its established trademark. Shorts International's contention was primarily based on the premise that the similarity in names could lead to consumer confusion, potentially diluting the distinctiveness of their brand. However, in his ruling, Judge Michael Tappin of the London High Court found no substantial likelihood of consumer confusion between Shorts International’s brand and YouTube’s Shorts platform. He noted that the public clearly associates the "Shorts" feature with YouTube, which has been heavily marketed and widely recognized since its launch in 2020, chiefly as a response to the meteoric rise of TikTok and similar platforms. Lindsay Lane, Google's attorney, effectively argued that the branding was so distinctively tied to YouTube that it eliminated any potential for misunderstanding among consumers. The evidence presented in court demonstrated that the user interface of YouTube Shorts, along with its prominent branding and marketing strategies, made it clear that the platform was a product of Google’s YouTube brand. Judge Tappin emphasized that the use of the term "Shorts" by YouTube would not harm the reputation or distinctiveness of Shorts International’s trademark. This decision not only brings a closure to the trademark claims but also reinforces the importance of distinct branding in the digital content arena. The court's dismissal of all infringement claims underscores the challenges faced by companies navigating the legal frameworks of trademark laws when common terms are involved. This ruling is significant in establishing precedent in the tech and media industries, especially as more companies explore new content formats and branding strategies that lean towards popular culture and shared terminologies. The outcome highlights a critical awareness among businesses about the nuances of trademark registration and the need for vigilance in protecting intellectual property. As digital platforms continue to innovate and expand, the importance of strategic brand differentiation and robust legal support cannot be overstated. Companies must engage in thorough market research and analysis to ascertain whether their branding might infringe on existing trademarks, avoiding potential legal disputes such as the one encountered by Shorts International. Furthermore, this case illustrates the ongoing tension in intellectual property law, particularly within the digital landscape where new terms often emerge from cultural trends. The ruling may invigorate other businesses to rethink their branding strategies, ensuring that their names and services remain distinct in an increasingly crowded marketplace. In the end, Google’s victory in this case not only solidifies its claim on the term "Shorts" within the context of its platform but also serves as a cautionary tale for companies about the importance of brand clarity and consumer perception. The ruling reinforces that existing trademarks will be upheld when there is a clear differentiation in consumer understanding and association with a brand.
