Wait just a minute, you're not supposed to dry your dog in the Microwave?????
People get sued for that kind of outlandish talk.

James,
the reason the British refuse to sell to the USA is undoubtedly because of
the "I'll sue the shit out of you" principle. As fas as I know the USA is
the only country where, for example, you can try to dry your freshly washed
dog in a microwave and when the poor animal dies, sue the microwave company
for damages. Furthermore you're living in one of the most beautiful
countries I know, but that's a different matter.
Good luck with your UK car parts!
