As if our farmers do not have enough on their plates with unending European Union regulations but poultry farmers have now become victims of a new EU directive which requires them each to buy £5,000 worth of machinery to print information about their chickens on every single egg."This egg was laid by Flossie, an 11 month old leghorn whose parents were Cyril and Betty. She was born on the 28th December 2005 and laid your egg on Friday the 24th of November 2006. When asked for a comment, she allegedly said: 'Cluck!' This naturally-produced, hermetically sealed, food product originated from 'Le joli oeuf' battery farm for abused avians,"
For the sake of all pity when will these people give up and let us all get on with our already over-regulated lives? [I didn't even like the little lion very much!]
