In other words, not enough

Oops!!!! think we went slightly over the limit then!! and went through 'nothing to declare' channel! shame on us! tee hee hic

Twice we have been over the spirit level, by about 500ml or so. The first time we went into the red channel, no one there, rang bell, no answer. Eventually found customs man who told us not to bother.

Second time there was a possey of them where the gates split. Reported in there and again directed to green with a thankyou for honesty.
