Im going today so hope our store has some cakes left in stock or I will be disapointed! Think Im going to go for a pack of their cheap rockets to add to my stash as I have no rockets at the minute and lighting them is a bit of fun

You will get better performance 1.3g material from a dedicated shop, but generally you will have to collect it yourself unless it's pyromeshed which brings it back to 1.4g by reducing the 'firery projection hazard'.
It's a great loss for Jo public, with no great safety gain in my humble opinion...
Edit: BTW the idea of the members forum is not to hide anything, but give more value to paid up members- anyone can see it if they pay their £20!

Is it purely a UK limit or EU-wide?

Don't honestly know the answer to that one. Member states often interpret or ignore as they please! I'm sure Exat can tell us...

However local regulations on storage will determine where it is able to be sold

It refers to the classification so effectively it should be worldwide.

Digger is correct. The whole classification issue is driven by the UN Test criteria and the defined standards for allocating Hazard Divisions according to the composition of each article.
The classifications are adopted worldwide and apply to transportation generally. Different countries and EU member states have their own storage legislation (MSER for us) and also alongside this we have the consumer legislation that in GB allocates Categories to fireworks in relation to their sale and use.
So we have 3 distinct systems to abide by. Hazard Divisions, Hazard Types, and Categories. Simples!!

I haven't bought rockets for a couple of years, but here in Sweden rockets with 145 grams of pyrotechnic composition were still allowed to be sold without a permit 2 years ago. But on the other hand they banned 4" and 3" mortars for public sale that year.
Until 1994 we had no limits at all, though the bigger stuff was much more expensive and could only be bought from certain companies (or a single one in the whole country I think).
The limit for cakes here is still 1 kilo.
