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.

Good. I suspect it's just an issue at some mills, some of the
time. To get decent mouldings run off for £20 + the cost of
the sawn timber is good value.
