Merci, Skydriller, for making this point.
It was only last week that I went into my local Halfords store and bought some headlamp covers and a GB magnetic sign for a trip to France next week. There was no sign to suggest I was buying something that, by the end of last week, was no longer valid or legal when driving in Europe and no one pointed it out as I gave them my hard earned in exchange for the goods.
When I went back today there were still loads of kits on sale with no indication that these are no longer legal but the helpful assistant did give me a UK replacement free of charge (too right) but did, having spoken to her manager, say these were now just for using in this country!! I did point out that we don't actually require them here and, perhaps, it might be a better idea to pull them from sale until correct signage was in place. There was no indication this was going to happen.
Needless to say I have sent an email to Halfords HQ pointing out the above and relating my sorry saga to them.
