Because there is no EU regulation on the sale of cabbage.

Hmm, perhaps you could be wrong on that. If the EU can  :censored: with anything.....they will!

Ros, many thanks for that, that made very interesting reading.  :wacko:

Nearly two thousand words eh? So once that has been translated into all the languages of country's in the EU it would actually exceed 26 thousand words.

Instead of deliberating about the regulations regarding the sale of cabbage within the EU, why isnt there frantic activity booking up your accomodation for the Bank Holiday get together ?

Very succinct, mind you, it's only the specific variations relating to headed cabbages rather than the full policy....

Money well spent!

Bumpkin, now I'm worried, I thought that was the full monty, I feel now as if I've been short changed by the link Ros put on.   :nono:

Mecki, do us a favour, can you find the full mashings?
