I didn't spot this, as I only had a very quick glance (I saw it
advertised in the Independent, and paid a quick visit to see if they
were acting legally). Yes, we do sometimes see 'L' for litre on packs,
but it's more usual to see it spelled out as 'litre'; I'm glad to say
that 'mL' is almost never seen.
