New Laws for 2018
As well as the new rules on bags at the supermarket I heard another law came into force, which I cannot confirm or find anything on it.
An Italian friend shared a link where it said that you cannot drive a car if you are not the registered owner. To me this makes no sense as the vehicle is registered in my name but my wife also drives it. Is this some hoax or has anyone else heard anything similar ?
Buon anno a tutti. 🎊🎉

I seem to remember that you need to carry a letter at all times showing that you have the permission of the car owner to drive it.

Well this is Italy. Yesterday I threw a strop in Lidl because they wouldnt let me buy a very large cauliflower without a plastic bag that it was too big for. its the law they said sagely - without knowing what the law actually is.

2) what irritates me about this is that you have to pay to carry their publicity around with you.

Re: New Laws for 2018
I read somewhere - I think- that an Italian Minister had conceded that shoppers would be allowed to use their own plastic plastic bags -but only
once per bag.Is this right? Surely nothing quite so daft can be true

Surely you don't believe that. I mean that it can't be true. We do live in Disneylandia you know.

Re: New Laws for 2018
Ive had a letter of apology from Lidl! The law states that if you want to buy fruit and veg loose and you want a bag it mustbe a bag of less than 15 microns. You can bring one from home, as long as it isless than 15 microns, but you can only use it once. There is no law that says you must use a bag.

Auchan adds the price automatically when you weigh your friut. I never put avocados in a bag, so I queried the cost at the till. The cashier took the 2c off.

Re: New Laws for 2018
This law really bugs me. The supermarkets make huge savings getting you to do their work for them - ie weigh, pack and label your fruit. The cost of the bag was included in your purchases, now you pay for the bag, but the shops dont reduce their prices. Then with the new law on rounding up/down small change, they will earn even more, and the govt has the brass neck to say its a 'green' law - when it isnt. You buy a sack of spuds in a non biodegradable plastic net, which is more toxic to theenvironment and animals than a bag, and its free. Why not make stuff in unnecessary packaging 5 cents more, and the bags free?
