Now Nanny State Spells End of Pick-You-Own-Fruit

When we lived in England, one of our family's favourite summer activities was to go to a local fruit farm and pick our own fruit. I remember the children and me coming home with huge boxes full of strawberries, raspberries, black and red currents and login berries, which Esther would then cook into delicious concoctions. I have been looking forward to doing that again when we visit merry England. But alas, thanks to the Nanny State, it looks like this will no longer be possible if this article is anything to go by.
