GW have emailed me back, and said that whilst they do use Royal Mail for their standard postage level, they will be continuing to send paints through the post as normal.
So, basically ignoring the regulations until they get stung.

See you in the 'Mods' section re this  ;)
Changed my mind....I'll mail you. ;)

May I suggest a sneaky email to RM concerning the Evil Empire's intentions?  ??? :D

On the contrary - let them do it so that in future you can say "well, GW do it, so why can't we?" Nothing like setting a precedent - especially at no risk to yourself.  ;)

Well you know that has not worked for Cally in MyLay or some Germans in (and after) Nuremberg..... Some people are more equal than others.

English law is built on precedent.

The problem that some people are more equal than others persists. Never mind the legal system.

I was in the sorting office picking up a parcel Thursday.  Acrylic paints are NOT mentioned in the 'Prohibited' list - they mention other kinds.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

No...not in the prohibited list LH.....Pretty sure it's the restricted list where you'll find them. :(

The WWI Railgun and the Ratte are big enough to conceal some paint pots possibly?

Hi Leon,

Signed the petition.  I'd just change to a different carrier.  There are enough of them these days.
