Generally, yes you can. However, you cannot repair vehicles on a road if, it is during the course of a business it is for gain or reward it causes annoyance to people in the vicinity The only exception is that if the repairs are carried out following an accident or break down where it was necessary to do the repairs on the spot or within 72 hours. If it is a one off repair then this is not likely to breach the law but anyone who repeatedly repairs vehicles on the road is likely to commit an offence.
The 'Pub Landlord' made this statement on a recent program where he drove around. Germany accompanied by a local journo. The approved car wash facility he went through was very impressive.
He drove a Merc 'grosser' and a hot rod VW round Nurburgring
No I wasn't, that's why I followed the sentence with a smily.
But you never know what daft ideas will come out of the EU (Germany) next. Banning high power AV amps perhaps ?, or maybe TV's that use more than 60 watts ?. At least they won't ban burning coal because they are building a few new brown-coal fired power stations for themselves.
Never ever look at it. All the things that the EU have banned have been reported in all the papers at some point,..
Almost any garden chemical of any use Powerful vacs Creosote Methylene Chloride paint stripper Paint that actually protects properly Light bulbs Vapona strips and many other domestic treatments Coal (exemptions for Germany)
and they are determined to ban glyphosate at some point (but Bayer have a much more expensive on-patent replacement).
I thought many were still available but only to those who are trained to use them (like our daughter).
I have a Miele Big Cat n Dog and generally use it on it's lowest setting .
I loved the smell but I'm not sure it was good for us?
Is that like Nitromoors? The local powder coating and plating place seemed to have some pretty big vats of nasty and caustic stuff?
Bought some external oil based paint today. It's *guaranteed* for 6 years.
Light bulbs that are 2% efficient?
Never used one in 62 years.
Just because? Or because they could be dangerous in the hands of the same people they get to vote on something like the EU without giving them the facts?
I'm sure I've seen coal for sale locally?
They are? What, they just came up with the idea on their own one day? One of the member states didn't approach them with their fears, the EU asked the member states to look into it, they didn't, they asked them again, they still didn't and so they asked their own independent specialists to look into it and they deemed there could be some risks in it's use?
If all the member states had wanted it kept then it would have been.
It really is like the Monty Python 'What have the Romans (EU) done for us' sketch.
Yeah, what has the EU done for us ....?
No wars?
Yes, apart from no wars, what has the EU done for us ...?
No trade tariffs?
Well yes, apart from no wars and no trade tariffs, what has the EU done for us ... ?
Freedom to move around the EU with no customs borders?
Yes, apart from ....
So, we are all agreed, we all want out of the EU?
2/3rds of us didn't vote for it ... ?
What do 1/3rd of us want? Out of the EU.
When do we want it? ASAP, before we have a clue of the impact on us all.
You've bought a vac under the new regs which isn't up to it? Care to name and shame?
Pretty nasty stuff.
Only from DIY products.
Which one would that be? Lead paint? Banned here before the EU existed.
They've been banned have they?
You seem to want to poison yourself. Fairy nuff, but others might not.
Can you give some details about coal being banned?
Ah - that would be one of the chemicals you use in a garden?
I'd have thought it easy for a rabid Brexiteer to come up with some really daft EU regs. All you've managed to say is you want any dangerous chemical to be freely available and don't care how much you spend on wasting energy. And that you're not old enough to remember the evil smogs cause by burning coal.
So you think anyone that tells the truth is an eejit, typical brexshiteer. Why don't you find a group where you know enough to contribute something useful?
When you say 'they banned' you presumably mean 'we' - the UK was involved in the decision. And good riddance to most of the stuff you list, I'd have thought (although Lidl were selling a 1500W vacuum the other day).
I was in Germany recently and signs on the hotel breakfast toasters warned against browning - carcinogenic apparently. They were set to produce slightly warm bread. It'd amuse me no end to see 'our' EU legislate for that :-)
