    Better point out I'm referring to silly EU regs, not the views of esteemed fellow Cornerists!

      It is totally crackers
      It especially mentions, WI, church fairs, and country sales at village fetes

      The sooner we can get out of the EU dictating what we do and how we live the better
      IMHO

      Jack, although I think a lot almost all of EU regulations are stupid I don't think we can blame them for that so called quote. I think that would be the Mail doing its usual 'wind-up' with interpretation and reporting.

      The church are almost as culpable for bothering to take notice of the new regulations. They're not really aimed at church bazaars etc. They should have just shut up and waited to see whether any local authority would have the balls and stupidity to try and enforce stupid interpretations of the regulations.

      someone on here has already mentioned that the French will just say "OK" and then ignore the regs. As they do with almost all of them - just walk into a cheese shop in France and you'll see that lots of EU regs are being broken!

          Can't legally sell homebrew or even use it as tombola/raffle prizes.

          As for non-alcoholic drinks (there are some people who actually prefer their apple juice unfermented) I've got bottles designed for return and re-use + bags of replacement tops for them.
