Help! My greasy spoon has turned into a trendy sandwich bar
The Daily Telegraph reports that "Roadside snack vans will be forced to close unless they offer healthy alternatives such as salads and low-fat yoghurts" (I can't give you a URL as the story seems to only be in the paper paper..)
"Environmental health officers in Guildford, Surrey, will inspect menus during routine hygiene checks. The head of environmental health at Guildford Borough council said "The aim is to give consumers a wider choice and move away from the sole provision of high calorie, high fat fast foods."
"Grant Harris, who runs Skip's Catering Food Van from a layby on the A281 said "Our customers are mainly scaffolders, builders and lorry drivers, and they are not going to want this new food. The sandwiches and jacket potatoes are more suited to a sandwich bar"
I'm sure the welll-intentioned officers of Guildford Borough Council don't realise that, at this time of year, when I've got three thermal layers on and still can't feel my feet, that it's not food - it's anti-freeze, and a Muller Light really isn't going to cut the (bright yellow, in giant plastic bottle with pump-action top) mustard.

This plague has been sweeping the country for the last 20 years, it seems to reappear when someone from the PC Police feels the need to make a name for him/herself or a bit of self-publicity.
They closed all of the roadside cafes in Bedfordshire years ago as they were supposed to be poisoning all the truckers in the country and, of course, truckers et al are incapable of a) noticing when, where and if they've been poisoned, and b) unable to think for themselves.
Thank God for our Politically Correct masters eh!
We'd all be dead with out them!
Can we hope that they may close down some of the McDonalds Drive Thrus as well seeing as I believe these encourage eating whilst driving.
