Halloween egg sale ban for youths
Supermarket giant Asda has banned teenagers from buying eggs, traditionally used as "trick or treat" missiles, in the run-up to Halloween.

The store says it has warned staff to be extra vigilant in spotting youths buying eggs.

It says the decision was taken following reports of egg-related vandalism last Halloween.

Other big name supermarkets have not implemented a ban, although Sainsbury's says it has a "common sense policy".

4. So the "common sense" policy would be . . .
If a 12 year old wants to buy 12 dozen eggs, don't let him? :) :) :)
