Default EU to ban traditional barometers
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6725161.stm
This was mentioned on TWO a couple of months ago and (unusually for the BBC)
it's little more than an anti EU rant.

No, you won't (easily) be able to buy a new mercury barometer, but you will
still be able to get old ones repaired.

It's a mountain out of a molehill really.
