Margaret, I know that my daughter brought back lots of cheese from France to Scotland, can't see it being a problem the other way round. I know there is some rule about plants, seeds and bulbs though. Christine

Margaret, My daughter is working in France at the moment, and my friend went over to see her last weekend and took her some chocolate which wasn't a problem but was banned from France during the foot and mouth outbreak as was all dairy products from the U.K. Sue
