EU Outrage

The European Union are at it again

Overheard conversation:
Wigster 1: Did you know that the EU are trying to enforce a new law which aims to prevent misleading names of British food products.  For example, shortbread will be renamed 3"biscuit or 45degree biscuit because it is neither short nor a bread, while Choc-ice will be renamed choc-ice-cream.  Unbelievable!

Wigster 2: I don't believe you... Oh, hang on, that means it must be true.

Wigster 1: Iced gems will have to change to iced biscuits.

Wigster 2: What will happen to Mint Imperials? Do they have to become metric?


We didn't hear the answer, sorry.
