The message
from "mark" contains these words:

My local chemist who I have known for years won't sell me oxalic acid
(which I want to use for bleaching old linen and cotton fabrics) because
it's no longer permitted. It used to be, in the days when we were
treated
as adults.


I think it has more to do with restricting chemicals which can be used for
homemade explosives.

Oxalic acid can't.

And I don't notice any restriction in buying flour, sugar etc.
