I won't type out all that text but their subtitile pretty well sums it
up: "Steve was caught red-handed selling bananas by the pound." Also, in
the text it says, "This was a violation of EU Directive 80-181-EEC,
requiring that fresh produce in any EU country must be sold in metric
measures--i.e., liters and kilograms." Further, protesting that he
doesn't like the term "metric martyr, he is quoted as saying,
"I don't give a toss about poilitics. I've never cast
a vote. I have nothing agianst metrics."
