OT - More EU stupidity (TV standby buttons)

Not content with banning every normal lightbulb, even though my touch-
sensitive lamp doesn't actually work with energy-saving ones (it just flickers
on/off quickly and doesn't come back on, when one of those is in), now they
want all electrical products that have a standby button, such as TVs, to have
those buttons removed.

First thing in the morning, my bedroom TV comes on and wakes me up (if the
*** pigeon hasn't beaten it to it) so what am I meant to do now? Wake up
of my own accord first thing, then go down to the cellar and switch on the
power to the house, then go round each electrical item in the house and reset
the clocks before switching on the TV just in time for when it would normally
wake me up?
