Did have 3 yrs ago only had 150 kilos
ONLY 150 kilos ? That's a hell of a lot of roll-ups considering you can roll around 200 fags from 50 grammes of tobacco. How many grammes in a kilo ? I still think in bushells and pecks.
Bejaysus !! It's more than I thought ! That's almost three hundredweights of tobacco. 270 2 oz pouches,and a conservative estimate of 160 cartons of tailor made ciggies. You're lucky to be out of nick so early.
There could be an element of the insurance company being fearful of a claim following the van being confiscated by customs. I would think 150kg of tobacco in the van would also cause concern regarding overloading too.
I just looked through the small print on a number of internet insurance sites. Most make no mention of criminal convictions in the forms, but the small print in the policy wording mentions it, so it is probably worth asking the insurer, even if they don't ask you.
