Recently on Countryfile a BBC programme a report about the new European Union (getting more like the Soviet Union every day)in which a discussion took place about a new law which comes into operation later this year.
This law is all about battery hens.
There will have to be new bigger/better gages in which to keep hens.
That's great. I'm all for improving the life of the hens.
However what really struck home to me was the comment from some of the egg producers that they were going to have to lobby the government to control the import of eggs from other European Countries.
Whilst our farmers are having to spend out large sums for new gages etc it appears that some other EU countries are likely to ignore the law and continue in the old way.
What is the point of bringing in new laws if the EU cannot or will not enforce them?
It is now such a corrupt organisation that I fear for the future.
Oops I shouldn't have posted that I'll probably be one of the first to have the EU secret police knocking on my door in the early morning.
Seriously though the organisation is getting out of control and somehow will have to be reigned in before it does unrepairable damage.
Enough of my rant.
Let's have a joke:- There are three kinds of lie, a small lie,a big lie and politics.

The Increase in Value Added Tax
There is supposed to be chaos today in many shops because of the increase of VAT to 20%
Why? because many of the labels on products still say the old price and it is only when a customer gets to the checkout that they no the true price.
Apparently even big names like Boots and Comet are guilty of this.
Still I suppose that it has caught all the top executives by surprise.
Hey they have only known for months! Why are such high salaries paid to these people when they can't plan ahead.
Enough of the rant. Let us have a joke:- A man has been drinking at his golf club. On his way home he is pulled over by police who inform him that he is too drunk to drive. "Too drunk to drive" exclaims the man " I can barely putt"
Techno has been working on my new internet marketing website although we have one or two finally touches to do. See http://www.john-f-beaumont.com/
On this day:- 4th January
In 1967 Donald Campbell was killed trying to beat his own world water speed record in Bluebird.

In 1896 Utah becomes the 45th state of the Union

The Health and Safety Brigade
Hi there,
Back in the 1970's when I had to drive around the country a lot on business there was always a lot of advice about what to do in snowy weather.
If you got stuck in your car you were advised to keep a window partially open or leave a door open, run the engine for 20 minutes at a time, check the exhaust was clear etc etc.
Despite a massive new health and safety industry they don't appear to say much about how to survive today. More concerned about people standing on step ladders.
In fact I had a laugh when a handyman I know who has had 40 years experience was sent on a course about how to handle screwdrivers!If he had survived 40 years he hardly needed training.
Anyrate enough of the moan. Keep smiling
Thought for today: Are you taking care of yourself?
Joke for today:- Did you hear about the sword swallower who went on a diet? He had pins and needles for months
On this day 9th December
In 1641 Van Dyck dies
In 1918 Kirk Douglas was born and Douglas Fairbanks jnr in 1909
In 1990 Walesa was elected Poland's president
