Maybe it's a British rabbit wearing fake antlers to pretend to be a reindeer in order to get the full benefits of EU citizenship.

So when I see it in duty free, I make a beeline for it only to discover it's only on sale for non eu flights.

What's going on there then? Never had this issue bringing back Cardinal Mendoza from Spain.
