Epic WTF

You accidentally set the origin as Doncaster rather than Dover

The government is also in on the joke:

And the EU:

What the fuck.

Who are all these people transporting ferrets across borders?

This has always made us laugh when booking our cat a ticket for the drive to Germany. I think it’s related to the paperwork required being similar/the same. Pertaining to rabies.

It's a specific thing in the travel rules: https://www.gov.uk/taking-your-pet-abroad

This reminds me of that box on the old forms that you had to fill in for health care in Europe, before EHIC cards. (E111 was it?)

There was a box that was titled something along the lines of "This box is solely for the use in the event of injuries sustained by self employed farmers whilst working abroad."

You just wonder what particular set of legalities, lobbying and negotiation led to there being a box just for those circumstances.

CF Ferrets.

Maybe a senior Brexit negotiator, Lord Frost perhaps, keeps ferrets?

Was driving passed Romans on the A217 earlier, they're a USED premium car dealer selling Porsche, Maclaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini etc. They had a Ford Raptor pickup outside, yeah looked a bit tricked up, but it was on sale for £120k.

Strange, they're A$100k brand new here. And there's stock now, which there hasn't been for a while.

Wow, I should start a Raptor exporting business. That's quite a markup.

Crickey, there are some low mileage cars on there! Like a 20 year old Ferrari Enzo with 142 miles on the clock?!

These (ford raptors) are the sponsor of the euros football in Aus. An abomination a car! Who in their right mind would even consider it?! Beggers belief

Cunts in central Auckland drive these around. As far as I can tell the justification is 'I sometimes visit a small building site'/' I have a fizzboat'

Oz government has a mile-wide tax loophole for 'commercial' vehicles which sees three quarters of everyone with an Australian Business Number getting around in one of these giant diesel-guzzling arsehole conveyances.

It's fucking stupidity central over here

I can understand the attraction/fantasy for a child of say 14 years old to feel like a super macho man to impress their mates but grown adults??! GTFO
I've only seen the ads because I stream the footie on dodgy websites via VPN (here in Spain). They are adrenaline fuelled to say the least

Wow, I should start a Raptor exporting business. That's quite a markup.

It's probably F-150 Raptor vs Ranger Raptor. The F-150 is much bigger and rarer outside North America.

Uk has a Pick-up truck tax loophole as well. Two of my colleagues have them instead of cars, one uses the justification that they live in Scotland.

one uses the justification that they live in Scotland.

To be fair, the state of our roads does probably go a long way to justifying big dumb truck club membership.

Yes, that would make sense. The highest spec F150 you can get here is the Lariat.

What is this bug and why was my unopened packet of pasta full of them?

(Yes, I need to moisturise)

Probably some kind of weevil.

That'll be weevils

Google says its a Sulcacis nitidus. Doesn't look like a weevil to me

Weevil:

Google lens giving me Bark Beetle.

There are something like 90,000 weevil species.
