    Could happen anywhere.

    My Granda was one of the best smugglers in the country, but the customs could never catch him. Every evening he was crossing the border they checked the basket on his bike and it was always empty.

    Surprising how many bike baskets you can smuggle in thirty years. :)

    Heard that urban legend story before. Your "granda" also bought wheelbarrows too.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I heard they didn't even have real Ferrero Rocher at the embassy, just little balls of tin foil glued together into a pyramid shape.

    Your Granda smuggling baskets when he could have been smuggling bicycles!
