The message
from Chris Bacon contains these words:

"They" (Jewson's, and similar) charge about £20 as a setting-up
fee. Sawn timber is then fed through and you get the moulding.
Until new H&S regulations, the result of European machinations,
that was that. Now they are reluctant to make any old moulding,
and need the cutters "available". Big step forward; *not*.

Luckily my local place don't seem to have heard of this nonsense.
