I'm not a lawyer, but it's pretty basic and there's no room for interpretation. You are wasting (more) tax dollars with this ! Now I get to spend the morning (at least) in court for NO good reason. Grrr...


Okay, I feel a little better.
Try googling the place that you bought the nascar laps from. I have never heard of a phone number being blocked because of the country a person is from, it is possible with internet sites though.

eh

That's the kicker - I went to their site and at the very top of the page, in the center is their local number. If you click on 'Contact Us' the next page says in bolded, red letters, 'Canadian customers please dial...'
I don't think the call is necessarily blocked, but I believe when you get a toll-free number, you can choose which regions to accept calls from. At my last job, I know our toll free number only worked if you were calling from within Ontario.
Don't what this is all aboot, but it's time for me to go oot!

Cat pee on bed = a midnight load of laundry.
Midnight load of laundry = me not being as observant as usual.
Me not being as observant = iPhone (#2) goes through a full wash cycle.

Suh-weeeeet! Looking forward to what the rest of the day

Removed S2000 emblems from front quarter panels....FML (no paint work as I checked) and they put them on when the paint was WET so I have a "ghost" image of the S2000 in my paint So know I either have the panels painted or get new ones to install. Poor QC on your part Honda

You'd better fight that! Give me a call if you need to.
