None, for the most part. Use cream and eggs in the odd recipe.

That’s why then, EU recently amended the composite regulations drastically dropping the percentage of POAO in any one product.

It caused outrage when we where in the EU because it was so stringent and would create excessive work at the border and delay clearance of every day items
 
A question or two for our still Remainers. If the results were reversed and the EU were giving X3 the jabs more than the U.K. per million, what would have happened ? I assume that we would have turned on our government, ministers would have been sacked or resigned and the PM would be toast. So why is it that not one single person in the EU has been fired or resigned. Why are the various EU Presidents still in place and drawing a wage. Where is the outrage from the people. The EU is moving slowly but imperceptibly towards being a USSR or even a CCP, where those at the top are neither voted in, accept any responsibility for failure, and certainly never lose their job......

Well that wouldn’t happen as they’d deflect any accusations of incompetence and this party has essentially killed political accountability. You’re probably right in saying there would be criticism aimed at the government but no one would lose their job. They’d probably still win an election by twisting it to the greedy Eu or something.
Anyways that’s beside the point. Can’t speak for everyone but Ive recently moved away from the U.K. to the Eu and can say that I’m fairly relaxed and patient waiting for my jab. Could be late as October. Speaking to colleagues, their relatives who are vulnerable and key workers have been vaccinated. Ive not witnessed any outrage and people I’ve spoken to just are waiting for their turn. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s not always about blame, people are aware that it won’t always be like this.

Because pete, as has been repeatedly said these are national problems. The EU does not deliver their healthcare - the individual nations do (or oversee the private insurance systems that do).

I'd hope that one of the outcomes of this pandemic is that, at the very least, the EU takes over competency for public health surveillance so that everyone can learn quickly when outbreaks of contagious disease (of all kinds) occur - if you are going to have open borders, then that has to happen.

You are a bit mad, aren't you?

I am a very good sport and excellent company, but I’m merely an owner not the landlord, I have a really good landlady and staff who are brilliant at running the pub. I just swan around and enjoy myself at the pub with my mates...that’s what retirement is really about...a hobby you love....

Fair play, it sounds a good life. Hope the big re-opening goes well
