European Christmas songs? (self.europe)

Hi Europe. Since it's getting close to Christmas, let's get into the Christmas spirit with some music.

Give me a Christmas song from your country, the cheesier the better, preferably in your native language.

Here's one from Sweden, played every year.

‘Brexit problem’: UK tap water safety at risk after testing labs shut down (www.theguardian.com)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/22913120

Summary

The UK’s tap water safety is at risk due to the closure of all domestic laboratories certified to test water treatment products under EU-derived Regulation 31.

Without certified labs, new products cannot be approved, and existing ones requiring retesting are becoming non-compliant.

Industry insiders blame Brexit, as EU countries will share lab capacity starting in 2026, while UK rules prohibit foreign testing.

This has created a backlog of products, limited market competition, and raised costs. While officials claim water remains safe, experts warn of delays in adopting innovative treatments.

[–] CAVOK 1 points 1 month ago

While that's a problem, imho there are a few points in the article worth considering. For example it's very hard to grow companies due to lack of capital for investments. So companies move to the US, which is a problem for us.

Strange I didn't see it. I did look, but clearly not enough.
