eggs

[quincyqqq]

read in the the sunday mail to day
the eu are banning briton from selling eggs by the dozen
silly or not

[sara3]

maybe a bit silly in "body & soul", lol!

I don't mind how my eggs are packaged, so long as I can still get them :o)

[daffy654]

They probably will still come in boxes of 6 or 12 but each box will be priced by weight.

[TTG]

Clucking stupid.

[boxtops]

I heard that on the radio too. Ridiculous.

[hippyhoppy]

Not so stupid when bloody kids buy them and 'egg' my house like they did on Firday night...!

[coccinelle]

Why are they banning Britain and not the rest of the EU?

[Richard1966]

Dont believe anything you read n the Sunday Mail, or the Daily Mail.

[spacechimp]

It's in the Telegraph too, Richard.

My concern is what we do with broken eggs. If boxes are weighed and labelled and sealed then the supermarket will end up throwing away whole boxes just because of one broken egg (not that food waste has ever particularly concerned Brussels).

[carrot99]

ten will pack nicely but how will the packaging for five eggs work out - "could I buy half of ten eggs, please?" - I can't see it working..

[rowanwitch]

some places already sell eggs in fours, I ve bought them in 10s 12's 15s 18's and 24s so I don't think it is worth getting all worked up about....At the end of the day you are buying your eggs in multiples of the natural unit of egg ie an EGG

[spacechimp]

I don't know if you are deliberately missing the point, which is that MEPs have voted against any exception in new regulations for all member states government the sale of foodstuffs by weight, meaning that apples, eggs, range, bread rolls etc. will no longer be allowed to be sold by number.

[spacechimp]

oranges*. I blame the keyboard.

[Hopkirk]

What a waste of money the European Parlament is.

'''''''Tesco's already do them in 10s and 6s, I bought some today.
Does it matter? 10s - - - 6s, Nothing to write home about.
