I used to speak some German at least at beginner-level, thanks to 6 months of evening classes and an Austrian friend, but these days I find that I can only just about navigate the German Amazon website!

They'll never charge you tax if you're not a resident of the country. The same goes when I buy stuff from the US--all the applicable state taxes were exempted. Depending on how much they're charging, it can sometimes make up for the shipping.anti-clockwise wrote:I was surprised the taxes were taken off from UK VAT so it was actually cheaper for me to buy it here in US.
Shipping was minimal.
I'm in the UK. It would be nice not to be charged tax on the German set, but I have a feeling that I will get charged tax on import, by the UK revenue authorities.anti-clockwise wrote:It looks to be pretty much the same price as the UK from what i can see. Where do you live Frankymole if i may ask?
Well, thank you! I'm Canadian and someone's saying I'm funny--quick, alert Brian Clemens!anti-clockwise wrote:Interesting.So it may actually be cheaper to buy overseas. I would have never realized that! By the way I love your witty banter Timeless. I am still laughing and am becoming more informed from your posts. Thank you!
Aw, you're very kind.anti-clockwise wrote:Well Franky if you buy it in the US they will charge you $288 so don't feel too badly! LOL!
Timeless...well you are just timeless. So funny. I guess you guys just have no sense of humor in Canada! Not!
i had this feeling Clemens might be blaming LT for the show not lasting and being frustrated that his star Emma Peel was leaving the show. That kind of thing could even end a show. And when Clemens wants to insult/blame someone he just says they have no sense of humor. ludicrous!
LT could not have survived if that were the case. The whole season was one parody after another and she was superb and elegant yet understated in her demeanor.
I don't know quite how friendly they were, to be honest. I don't think I've ever read much about the personal relationship between Diana and Brian (he's talked about her in relation to her role, etc. quite extensively, but that's something else entirely). I don't know how much control he had over her pay, either, though I don't think it would have been loads. But I'd say he was closer to Gareth Hunt or Joanna Lumley than Diana. That's just a guess, though.anti-clockwise wrote:It really sounds that way with Clemens. Sorry if i am asking redundant questions--haven't gotten through all the massive threads here. But I wondered what his relationship was with Diana Rigg? I know she initially got paid poorly. Wondered who was involved with that.
But the fact that she did not go to the 50th anniversary and Clemens read the letter he sent her, I just wondered if he was hard to get along with or was difficult working with the female stars. But I am just guessing or wondering since I haven't read enough yet.
Also why did Diana Rigg leave? I imagine there was her success and a movie waiting but I wonder given that she expresses she did not enjoy those years--so sad--she was great--that she may have been itching to leave. I will get around to reading this stuff--eventually!
