It seems to me that there has been a refreshing rethink of late on
several fronts. The EEC has dropped many of its ridiculous vegetable
size and shape rules. The Health and Safety boss has gone on record to
say that the application of the rules are TOT. The equality commission
now says equality has gone a step too far, and there are thousands of
solicitors making unnecessary rich pickings. Looks like the rules on
re-cycling will be modified, what is the sense of cleaning jars and cans
using more energy than is saved by recycling, then to rub salt into the
wounds send them to the Far East! Is this down to the financial downturn
(correct speak for slump?) or is common sense starting to prevail?
