Good to know. I used to buy M&S jeans but stopped when they reduced the depth of the front pockets. I don't understand why they would do it. How much material can it be saving?

It depends how they draft the law. If the law says you mustn't send a knife direct to a customer, then the seller might have committed the offence as soon as they put it in the post box, regardless of where the customer is. Personally I'm more worried about the other direction. It'll be a...

Yes they've cut the pack sizes of the LWWF a couple of times, originally they were 300g then 270g and now 250g. The range is a lot smaller too. They'll disappear entirely soon I expect.

I made one out of cork, but when it's dry it shrinks and falls out of the cap. A silicone baking sheet sounds just the job. Where do you buy something like that?
