Mark, the EU has made issues about eggs having to be sold by the ten, not the dozen or half dozen.
Yesterday I chose a very large, curved cucumber at the greengrocer. It would have been banned until a few years ago, destroyed in the field. Alas, some crazy EU laws have been overcome, due to popular uproar.
Bananas are also sold curved again, because too many people around the world questioned the sanity of EU commissars, which had practically banned the import of the vast majority of bananas, driving the economy of many nations into near bankruptcy.
The EU commissars have tried to use the 12 stars as a halo over their head, but they kept falling off, and the choirboys enforced to sing hymns of halelujah at the arrival of the commissars in the EU parliament with halo on (hovering over) head, kept giggling, spurred on by Nigel Farage, which was cause of great embarrassment to the commissars.
They also attempted laws that cockcrows may not be heard before 6 AM, that red telephone boxes must be replaced with "a dozen stars" booths, London black cabs must be taken out of circulation, and the English Channel be called "the Pond".
