Ive bought a few pairs of Binoculars from the Meopta factory in Prerov - my wife is a Gregory and we have a house nearby. I have been assured that their 30 year warranty (Binoculars) is worldwide and it doesn't matter where (if) they go wrong they will be covered.

Quite correct, but as has already been pointed out, the uk importers of all sorts of things TRY to tell you that you are not covered.
Why they do this I am unsure of, maybe because the want you to purchace in the UK at grossly exagerated prices or so the can charge a fortune for repairs.
One phone call to head office normaly puts them straight!.
Its exactly the same with a lot of electronic goods in the uk, sold with 1 year garauntee, this is ilegal as in the eu everything electric has to have full 24 months, but unless you insist, they get away with it.
I asked about my meopta 6x42 scope on here a few days ago, it seamed to look foggy inside, although it worked fine[shows the quality of glass]
The scope was purchased 10 years ago in Prague and I phoned meopta a couple of days ago, they have requested I send it back to them, in yorkshire!
I will let you know how I get on.
