    Buying same products from different countries?

    Surely political changes can create new market opportunities that may not have been there previously and someone will take advantage of it. Do EU standards not meet the British ones if they carry the CE mark? The toys are manufactured and sold in EU countries, just not here.

    Hi, I am looking to buy some toys by the same manufacturer but from different countries, so they are in the language of that particular country. The products are not sold here in the UK, although the manufacturer is represented here, but there is no telephone number, just a customer service...

    Direct Marketing

    I suppose as long as you have advised him that he will be breaching the privacy laws, it is no longer your responsibility if he chooses to do so, but he is also risking his email address being seen as a spammer and getting blacklisted - it depends how big the mail out is and whether people...
