The milk quotas were scrapped in 2015.  Do keep up.

Oh dear, Mrs C, you do have a vivid imagination regarding life in Britain before the Common Market.  It reads like something out of a Charles Dickens novel, the only thing you missed out was the workhouse.  Of course, you know it was nothing like that.  Do you really believe employment protection laws only came about after 1973?  Do some research, dearie.  And as I remember, the only times ...
