We took over a suitcase full of spectacles last year, to be given to the John Fawcett Foundation for distribution to those who need them. The customs guy had to rummage through the entire suitcase full, until he found a couple of pairs he liked, and then he let us through. I was so annoyed, I thought it was tantamount to stealing from your own. However, I guess there's nothing to be done. That's the way it works. I'll still be taking another suitcase full this year when we go again. Let's hope I don't get the same customs officer!
