A friend of mine who deals in classic Mini stuff sent an old, dismantled BMC Works extinguisher to a customer in Ireland, via Royal Mail, having fully declared it at the local Post Office..........PO Norn Iron scanned the parcel (after it had arrived by airmail!) and declared it an explosive risk, impounded it and destroyed it. Didn't tell anyone, though, and it took him ages to find out what happened to it......
