Not just pie manufacturers in the North East but all manufacturers of prepared foodstuffs.

Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 specifies minimum font sizes for the list of ingredients on the packaging - no bad thing in my opinion - some lists are printed in such tiny fonts they are virtually impossible to read - comes into effect in December this year.

I find a simple magnifiying glass an effective tool for reading the small print on packaging. Available from all branches of Wilkos, and good Pound shops everywhere.

Have the EU Mandarins issued an edict on the size of newspaper print, or the numbers on your frond door, do you know ? If not, I'm sure they'll get round to it eventually.
