Yet another moronic idea from the conservative government, which continues to think that it knows better how people should run their lives than people themselves.
Reminds me of the day I went to a pub, ordered a pint of Leffe Blond (good, Belgian beer), and was told that they were not allowed by the government (or council - I forget which) to sell that beer in pint glasses as it was "too strong". I promptly asked for an empty pint glass, ordered two half-pints of Leffe Blond and proceeded to pour the contents of the two half-pint glasses into the pint glass in front of the barman. I hope he got the message.
