of the change is going to be fun. retail outlets of above a certain size

the

anywhere
near the stuff just be present somewhere!


Charlie, would that include garden centres such as Wyvale, and even
smaller nurseries who might stock small quantities of garden
chemicals, or even places like DIY sheds such as B&Q? Or to put it
another way, how small does the retail outlet have to be before it
doesn't qualify?

Apparently based on turnover and it was a multiple of millions but I cant
recall the exact amount, totally useless requirement, but its made someone
think they have safe guarded the public (most of whom are brighter than the
numpties who dream up these stupid ideas.
