So they are contradicting themselves, unless that is they are denying that the regulations say anything about curvature - in which case they are not so much incompetent as outright liars.
I think somewhere in guidance notes (maybe the Trading Standards or someone elses) the curvature is defined in degrees.

Yes but some is really good and our country is a better place for the EU forcing us to clean up our beaches, more competitive through the EU driven deregulation of Airlines and Telecoms. Food hygene has probably been increased (even if we follow the rules overzelously).
