Over the past few years we have heard and read of small shops and market stall-holders who have been prosecuted and fined for selling their goods in imperial measurements only.

I recall seeing on television that a family business in one of the smaller Sussex towns is having to close down because it's refusing to go metric.

Can someone please explain to me why the new Tesco store in Hove is allowed to price its apples and some of its vegetables in prices per lb?

Does the fact that it's a big player give it the right to ignore the law?

I don't agree with this law but I believe every business should be treated the same.
