Councils will be employing special officers who will ensure that pub landlords etc do not flout the new laws. They will be equipped with scales, tape measures and Nimble bread. Anybody caught breaking the rules will be fined either a weeks hamburgers and chips or £250, that’s pounds in money, not weight.”
