Vote for your Favourite Sweet!
Do we all have the same tastes in sweets? That’s the question being asked by new online confectionery website The Sweetie Jar which has launched a poll.

The poll is designed to discover each country’s favourite sweet and determine whether there is a difference of opinion in the top choices selected by English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish people.

Anyone from the four nations can vote for their best-loved sweets through the online poll and one lucky voter will also win a year’s supply of their preferred confectionery.

The voting is set to run for three months, ensuring everyone gets their chance to put forward their top sugary treat.

Each country’s favourite sweet will be announced on 30th June 2010 along with the winner of the year’s worth of sweets.

To vote please click here.

New form for online veterinary medicines retailers

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has produced a new online form for retailers wishing to sell veterinary medicines on the internet.

The form replace the previous Word version and is part of the VMD's ongoing commitment to digitise its processes. Anyone retailing prescription medicines online, including POM-V, POM-VPS and NFA-VPS categories, is lawfully required to register with the VMD before trading.

The change only applies to new applicants. Retailers already listed on the VMD's Register of Online Retailers or registered under the Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme (AIRS) do not need to do anything.
