IME, UK vendors can't be bothered with modest orders from the
colonies. For example, Brian Ricketts and the good old boys down
at BRM dropped me like a heavy stone when my orders fell below
100 pounds sterling each. In general, they let you know you can
piss off by ignoring your several plaintiff cries for help. If you
are lucky enough to get one of the rascals - let's call him "Dave" -
on the phone, you will hear rubbish like "None of those part numbers
register on the Audi dealer's computer." Plenty of numbers "registered"
when the order was over 1,000 quid.

Phil, am I very far off?
