Topper are you advocating the same approach should be applied to homebrew as is currently being applied too those that run ther vehicles on Straight Vegetable Oil?

They are required to declare their consumption of SVO so that they can be given a tax bill to recover the revenue that tax would have made if they had bought deisel.

The next step is to declare your consumption of homebrewed beer and wine and pay the equivalent tax on that.

Besides, the "spirit of the law" will already be complied with.

The individual licensee for all the stores has to see to that i.e. that they don't sell alcoholic beverages to any person under 18, or to a person thought to be buying it on behalf of a person under 18.

Buying ready made and the ingredients to make your own ARE NOT the same thing and never have been. The only concession to that is materials that are harmful to health i.e toxins/poisons as mandated.

Your argument suggests that the health food store would need to restrict the sale of liquid malt extract as that can be used for.......

Hence while I fully appreciate the letter and spirit of the law, the one you're alluding to is nothing to do with kit - the letter (and spirit) of those laws/regs is for the sales of alcoholic beverages........... and can't be stretched to include other items

When I was a kid we played conkers !!!

In the same vein.

Music lessons are in decline because they are 'One on one' and many institutions and individuals consider the risk too great.

Progress eh!
