What do you think?
Isn't this a prime example of why so many of us want to leave.

We already have bureaucrats a plenty of our own without some idiots in Brussels making up their own ridiculous rules.

What's worse than the silly rules is that someone gets a lot of money to come up with them.

Re: Whiter Chips

Pale chips ? Yuk. I'd like to see them police this. If shops don't sell what we want we make it at home. My vegetarian husband still eats his bacon burned to a crisp I'd like to see anyone try to stop him

Yes, I have often wondered whether they actually debate their silly decisions before putting them into their silly 'rules'.

Perhaps the Belgians like pale, underdone chips. They've probably gone out on a 'fact finding mission' along some of the streets adjacent to their expensive parliament building and come to the conclusion that the whole of Europe, including ourselves, like pale chips as much as we like Belgian chocolates.

Actually, I do like Belgian (and Swiss - especially Swiss) chocolates.

Re: Whiter Chips

Can you imagine a typical day in the EU Office of Pointless Rules;

'Right, ok persons of nondescript gender, we have to come up with a new rule by the end of the day. Any suggestions?'

'Er, what about straight bananas?'

'No, we've done that'

'Er, what abouuuuuuuuut .....making it illegal for a child under eight to blow up a balloon?'

'I think we did that one too, last year.'

'How abouuuuuut..... All cats and dogs must wear socks when they go walkies?'


SILENCE!..........


'Yes.....Yes..... Excellent (M)Arthur, that's a good one. Right let's get working on that, I'll need it on my desk by 5pm today people.'

(Lots of cheering and the opening of non fizzy champagne)

You haven't said where in the UK you live, but that's probably because you live darn sarf where they prefer anaemic chips.

No, I really have never seen any golden chips from a British chippy. If I make them myself then yes but never in a caf. I've seen golden chips in the US. They are not white here but they are never golden either.


NB : If you send me your online bank details Moscow I will make it easier for you to make that transfer, because you won't have to even lift a finger, just let me know any funny numbers that are texted to you - ok?
