(V): so your saying that the fruit and veg stallls where you live only using the pounds and ounces
they must by law display the metric measurments

unless im reading it wrong here on this page from the BBC

its really stupid that one or the other was not kept
to have 2 systems on the go at the same time is has i say very confusing
i remember the outrage before dedecimalization in the early seventies but ppl soon got use to the change so why have 2 systems on weights and measures
older ppl l;ike myself who wernt taught anything metric would of adapted to it just like the ones did who were opposed to dedecimalization
