Someone has written in the comments below the article (not me!)
"we should wash our hands of the EU"
Never a truer word spoken - they are idiots!

[Ann]

Is nobody interested in this GREAT CRISIS?!

[scorpiojo]

Injured by Marigolds?? Eh?

[Ann]

Well it gets certain people into hot water ;)

If you and a friend have a glass or two and then decide to see how far a Marigold stretches the one who lets go first doesn't get injured....the one still holding the very long Marigold......does....☻

In Mrs O case they would also have to be 'certified' as capable of being filled with at least a kilo of sand in each one.

i can't decide who let go, gness or mrs_o

[andy-hughes]

Mrs Overwraught will be leading her one-woman campaign on this - are we all with her?

[sandyRoe]

It's only right that the EU has a hand in securing people's health and safety. If the gloves weren't to a high enough standard users could end up with chapped, ugly, unattractive, hands.
Better safe than sorry.

Gness v MrsO, Ael?......The glove would split......☺

Marigolds at the ready, Andy!....x

The EU need to digest some of this: https://napiers.net/media/marigold-mouthwash-200.jpg

Death by Marigold.
Lady Edith in Downton named her daughter after this rubber glove !!

[DTCwordfan]

The Churchills had a daughter called Marigold, died in infancy.

Thank you for bringing this appalling news to my attention.
Fortunately I am well stocked. I have enough marigolds to last me for donkeys years.
A girl can never have enough shoes, handbags and marigolds

"Is nobody interested in this GREAT CRISIS?!"

I for one am very interested. I have spent many sleepless nights over the years worrying about whether or not my Mum's oven gloves were capable of withstanding temperatures of 200 degrees C or not. Thank goodness the EU finally saw fit to tackle this serious problem... I can now worry about more serious things, such as the relative efficiency of vacuum cleaners and kettles.

Good man jim!

I remember when you had similar worries over straight bananas and you couldn't sleep properly for months

[jim360]

Don't remind me!

[aelmpvw]

i'd assumed that my marigolds already met the eu standards but what about my apron with the image of a torso in bra and suspenders ... is it safe?

[mrs_overall]

ael, I didn't realise it was an image...I thought it was a transparent pinny...
