    Ok, next question. It’s not illegal for a person to use it, right? Just for a business to supply it.

    Yes, just for the business to supply it. You can use them but businesses can't give them out.

    Here's a weird one for you. As I understand it a single use cup made from PET is banned as PET is a plastic. These have been largely replaced by paper cups.
    A food container made from polystyrene has been banned. These have been largely replaced by containers made of, you guessed it, PET.

    I wish paper cups and straws didn’t taste/feel so weird. They give me the creeps.

    Turnstiles open at 6:30. New Christmas fayre on sale. Long day at work, I’ll treat me and the lad.

    6:45, ask for a couple of the pots. ‘Sorry love, potatoes aren’t ready yet’.

    Barnsley football club. Marvellous.

    Just seen Danny from Rate My Takeaway outside Oakwell with a cameraman. Are we getting a review?

    Four small roasties, two pigs in blankets, a yorkie and a ladle of gravy.

    £6.95.

    Bit steep but to be fair it was nice.

    Those potatoes were spot on. Even if I had to wait.

    Is it though? Look at street food prices up and down the country not to mention football stadia. I’d say its not too bad compared to many. I spoke to a guy who bought 4 for his family and he said it was really lovely. I hear him complain a lot so hes no hapoy clapper.

    Theres been criticism of the offering at oakwell for years and years and to be fair to the club they’ve listened and really upped the game and continued to improve as the season has gone on.

    It is noticeably the thicker, transparent plastic forks rather than the thinner white ones.

    My guess is that they are designed for multi use rather than single use, and so are deemed acceptable? Even though they are binned after one use…

    Why cant we have improvement on the pitch? It'll be a disaster if the players are pelted by a stray Yorkshire pudding.

    As far as I'm aware the legislation refers to the intended use as well as the design so giving them out at what is essentially a very large cafe with 20,000 seats without providing any way of washing the cutlery deems them to be intended as single use and then disposed of so come under the ban.
