Thanks Cowboy, It seems CV ships internationally, I'll give them a whirl!
Not even gonna play with your fluffy nuts comment;)
ETA and thanks to Pictor as well!
Yes, international rate is quite reasonable. If you have any requests or requirements enter them in the comments box. As I mentioned, most of them are quite different to NT's

Soignee,
How does their currency compared to our currency? Just curious.
Google > search currency converter and input the two - it gives the answer.
Paypal update the currency conversions throughout a day, so hard to be specific, but an example is something for £4.50 will be just over $7.

Ahh I had forgotten about Paypal. Very convenient for me and I love to use it for eliquids outside of the country as a 'statement'...makes me feel like a rebel!

I reckon if our PM announced we'd get €'s there'd be a mutiny! :laugh: Sterling it is!
(For myself, I'd use the $ before I'd use the €!) ....I just hope that if he wins the next election he lets us have the referendum he promised! ...pigs might fly! :rolleyes:

Not sure if you've seen the cover of Animal's...they were flying over there years ago! :p

There are a couple of things that look tasty, I'll be vaping some for Christmas hopefully.

Pictor if your country decides to use the US $ at least your money will be as metric as your measurements! Well except for your weight....stone still befuddles me :facepalm:
16ozs = 1lb
14lbs = 1 stone

US money is pretty easy to understand I think: cent, nickel, dime, quarter, half and full dollar :unsure:
..ours must seem odd in some ways, but if you'd been around before '71 it was odder: 12 pennies in a shilling coin (now a 10 pence coin), but there was a ten shilling note (now a 50 pence coin), and 20 shillings were a £1 (which is now a £1 coin). Then we had a £5 note and a £10 note (which we still have) ...it was a bit of a mixture! :)
I sort of understand measurements reasonably well because myself and some galleries still use inches for paintings sizes just as the US does, but some embraced the metric system, so I do a rough sum in my head when looking at paintings e.g. 70cm wide becomes 28" to me! not exact but near enough for my purposes to know what I'm looking at :laugh:
I do know that there's 2.20462 lbs. in a kilo, and 3.28 feet in a Mt. - used those at work when buying things in metric units!

Wow, google for the win on conversions. I am shifting to metric in my head though because of pro cycling and it's just easier to do recipes in metric. I too am still befuddled by the stone...

US money is easy. 100 pennies (1x100)= $1, 20 nickels (20x5=100)= $1, 10 dimes (10x10=100)= $1, four quarters (4x25=100) $1...all metric. But we still use feet, miles, inches, yards, fahrenheit etc. because no one (but the scientists or potters) could grasp the metric system. :facepalm:
Wasn't there some space collaboration some years back between the US and UK (or European) scientists, and they found too late they'd been using both metric and imperial systems?
