    You should milk this and go on a rant about so many people dying to cast off the yoke of British oppression. May as well have some fun with it.

    Rumour has it we live in the British Isles. If that's the case, I'm moving to Valentia to cast off the shackles.

    They’re trying to “claim” Sam Bennett too. Bloody Brits, at it again.

    Ask them to sterilise it before they send it.

    I wouldn't. They're all mental on Valentia island.

    Tell em quite bluntly that your in an EU member state and not the UK and that what they're doing is essentially illegal under EU single market law. Might get them to rethink their crappy ass policy if you threaten legal action because they're either too goddamn ignorant to check their bloody map or being too lazy to actually ship what you wish to buy.

    Send them a map of where you are.

    Alternative, the issue may be the UK company may have an exclusive licence to sell in the UK and Ireland.
