Another of their follies is banning lead in solder..

Oh, there goes that vein in my temple again.

You have a good point, though, Ken. We have career politicians making decisions on subjects outside their limited sphere of understanding (getting rich through expenses) based on presumption and "it works for so-and-so" rather than briefing from the real experts in the field.

Better not affect my rubber band planes either.

They will have them carrying SSR transponders each with their own unique 24 bit id, I kid you not.

unfortunately Britain takes the EU too much to heart over here in Austria you are still allowed to climb a ladder at work without a harness,( imagine that!)

What's a ladder   :-? Not even allowed to use them in my work place now. You have to get a cherry picker if you want to go up in the air and you have to have been trained on it and have a harness and a hard hat.
Even worse I had to get an electrician the other day. Not because of a major problem but because a machine had tripped an MCB! I mean FFS The company trust me with programing cnc machines and robots but they won't let me flick a switch
