This is a list of prohibited items not allowed to be posted internationally on the Royal mail website, sadly two items mentioned are quite common in ration packs so it might be them that caused the issue.

Sorry for the long post, I work in retail management so cost/balancing/Profit and loss is what I do daily. Most sellers in the UK buy seem to have cases and sell individually, prices seem to run around £10-15 a MRE on ebay and places like SOF. As we are the wrong side of the pond, shipping from the ...

Mine is as boring as they get, its my name, its rare enough that its never taken, normally use Gaz for short with friends. How I got the name is another story, I was born premature and my parents hadn't really thought about a name until I was born, a nurse said her friend had just had a baby and cal...

Depends on their source, one released through surplus yes, I can get them at a local surplus shop. Ones off the back of a lorry no, quite a few squddies have been done for selling kit and I did hear when the new packs came out of investigations.

As I was born in 89 I'll stick the few bits of the Berlin Wall I have as a memento from my Birth year but its a neat idea.

Not sure why it would be unavailable, I've seen these Knorr tablets every time I've been to the supermarket in Germany and I've been back and forth for the last 10 years visiting family. http://germandeli.co.uk/knorr-products/823-knorr-erbswurst-grun-mit-speck.html this is a UK company there might b...

Phone, wallet and keys thats it. living in the UK its just not advisable carrying a blade, there are UK legal ones (spyderco make one) but its not worth the hassle even if it meets the criteria for being legal -under a 3 inch blade which doesn't lock when open. For work I can get away with a Swiss a...

UK ebay would be the best place for UK 24 hour packs, there are loads listed at decent prices (under £10) though Royal Mail charge stupid prices for postage which can kill a deal.
