Are the Brittish citizens going to allow this to happen?

Germany might not be any better...

BERLIN (Reuters) – A German restaurant operator has run into trouble with local tax authorities because he makes larger-than-average schnitzels -- or veal cutlets -- for his customers in a working class section of Saxony.
Gerhard Kaltscheuer said his giant schnitzels are popular in the town of Hammerbruecke and he sells about 70 dishes per day. He said tax officials told him they believe he sells 200 portions daily based on the amount of raw material he purchases.
"If I served the customers smaller portions at the normal price like that, I wouldn't have any customers because that wouldn't fill them up," Kaltscheuer told Reuters. He said he makes his portions large because his customers are laborers.
Kaltscheuer said he is protesting a demand from the tax authorities to pay more tax based on a higher number of food sales. His story has been reported widely in the German media and there was a rally on his behalf on Monday.
A spokesman for the tax office, asked about Kaltscheuer's case, said that he was not able to discuss it.

It is interesting that his steaks are 2.5 times bigger than the competitors.

Almost exact same system existed in communist Yugoslavia and later in Milosevic's Serbia. Doesn't work, it's bulky and crude and it creates more bureaucracy than needed. It only allows government a few days (or weeks) to do with that money whatever it wants before it leaves their hands.

The system was scrapped in 2000.

Sounds like schnitzel envy to me.

Never heard of Brittish anyway, where do they come from? Brittsland?

More like doubts about the veracity of his claims about schnitzel size.

[InsaneApache]

All this talk of massive portions and schnitzel envy has given me a craving for spotted dick.

Here in America we call that a "selling point"

Have you even seen man V food?

Did your mum hug you as a child?

I've also seen your rates of obesity. Is food addictive? Ye Gods! Any excuse to get away from the real problem that unless you do some exercise you'll blow up like an... American. And the number of bloaters who have got so obese that they've decided to use scooters to what? Preserve their strength for the next meal?

Oh yes, food is addictive as the more you eat, the fewer dopamine receptors you have, requiring to eat more for the same "high"... the only effective cure to replace the receptors is exercise.

Look at me, I'm a doctor, I have a fancy degree in medicine.

Are you saying people shouldn't be able to serve massive portions?

Sure, if you want your selling point to bankrupt you.
