I thought that sounded a bit too daft, so I went googling, and this is what came up:

Midweek Herald: Play parks in Budleigh, Beer, Honiton and Exmouth set for upgrade

The regulations in questions are the British and European Standard for playground equipment and surfacing.

Those bloody Europeans, insisting insisting our children have space not to get a good British swing to the side of the head while playing! No wonder the younger generation are so Woke! (Continued on Daily Mail Letters Page)

Given how dangerous parks were when I was a kid, from surfaces being concrete and pavement slabs, to the rides themselves with exposed areas for fingers to be trapped, or in the case of the umbrella/witches hat arms to be trapped it's amazing any of us made it past childhood!

As the saying goes "It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.. Then it's ******* hilarious!"
 
Eight years after the Brexit vote and more than three years after the UK was "free" of the EU, the UK has finally got around to implementing border checks.

Of course the price for "freedom" will fall on the UK's companies and hence onto the UK consumer.

New checks brought in under the UK's Brexit trade agreement will cost one business up to £225,000 a year, its co-owner has said.

Meat and dairy products, plants and seeds are among the goods now subject to physical checks when imported to Britain from the European Union from Tuesday.

Of course the UK could become entirely self-sufficient but in the real world this will simply be another inflationary pressure on the UK electorate.

Those sunlit uplands seem as elusive as ever. :rolleyes:

Of course the checks aren't being carried out, just charged for..... :rolleyes:
 
As I posted in the UK politics thread

“Hello. I’m calling from Border Control. We’re going to charge you £145 to check each pallet of French cheese on your lorries, and the best thing is, we’re not actually going to check it. We’ll just wave it through and collect your £145."

Bring whatever you want.
 
Those Brexit benefits keep on accumulating. We must be in the sunlit uplands by now.:rolleyes:

Brexit red tape on British businesses has caused UK-EU goods trade to slump and the problem is getting worse, economists have warned.

The value of UK goods exports to the EU sank 27% and import goods 32%, according to the report, compared with what it models would have happened without Brexit.]
