Slightly diverting off course, but still in the spirit of the thread...
Be careful if you post anything to anyone in Sarajevo (Op OCULUS?).
The address is a BFPO number, but for some bizarre reason, it doesn't go through the BFPO system, but is diverted through the FCO!
This means that FCO rules apply, which are far more stringent than BFPO. I sent a small box of goodies (tea bags and some sweets) to my bro who is at Camp Butmir. He got a letter from the FCO at Hanslope Park (near MK) telling him that as the package contained "foodstuffs" it was impounded.
If he wanted it to be sent on to a UK address, it would cost him £10 in admin fees. If he didn't pay, it would be "destroyed" (probably eaten in their tea bar!)
He also told me that the troops in Bosnia didn't qualify for any free "care packages" over the Christmas holiday, being the only BFPO excluded. Apparently, even the Falklands Garrison received them! Is this true?
So, if you want to send anything to folks out in Bosnia, use the normal postal system (get the civvy address of where you're sending it) and do it "International Signed For". That way, it should arrive OK.
