Where in the rest of the world do you have to have triangles which are serila numbered, have the manufacturers details etc on them. So according to the regulation, I have to throw away my existing triangles and get these new ones. Where from? I can see it clearly now that only one place will be able to supply them which will be a shop owned by some zanupf chief. He will buy a few containers full of triangles from China, stamp a name and serial number on each and then sell that junk on to us who will be forced to buy them at 10 times the price. Another zanupf multimillionair made in weeks. Makes me sick to think about it and I think we should resist that one. I’m all for these rules but the way they will be implemented is going to be like the number plate saga.
