The Price of Newts

Cheshire County Council has been forced by the European Union to move four newts at a cost of £60,000, which comes to £15,000 per newt. Apparently our masters in Brussels are unaware that you can get a spanking-fresh newt from any reputable pet shop for £3 and you could probably get a discount for a full set of four.
