I'm still on hold but the person who told me that I was next in the queue told me that the person in front of me was reporting finding a greenfly on a salad leaf - I didn't t realise that was illegal too - you learn something everyday0 -

As this is a potential food contamination issue, the dedicated hotline is 999.
I prefer to use the European number 112 -that way I can be assured I'm am dealing with European law - just been told that I have been overtaken in the queue by someone reporting a raspberry pip in seedless raspberry jam0 -
