      I seem to remember someone in this forum once said something about a trick where you can order stuff from Amazon in the States and avoid paying import duty. Any ideas?

        If the item is low cost then you often do not get asked to pay import duties and taxes.  In the past Amazon used Jersey as a point of importation which then avoided duties & taxes. The UK/EU deemed this to be an evasion and closed the loophole.

              I see the second browser is made by a dev from Zaragoza. Went two years ago for just two nights. Going back next month for 4 nights as a stop off as we travel south. As the place is stunning.

              (actually it may be as we are going north, on our way back from the south. I can’t recall which direction atm. You wouldn’t thing I planned and booked it).

              Browser looks OK, but I’m good with Chrome.

                I’ve posted them before & you’ve thanked me before. ????

                IIRC one of the links was something you posted – what goes round, comes round .. full circle it seems.?
