They show dual or metric-only prices where the indication is not an advert. Thus the law on 'price indication' is being complied with. Advertising is a completely different set of laws. Tesco is known to be anti-metric. >This does seem to contravene the spirit of Magna Carta that there >shall be one system of measurement throughout the realm. Magna Carta does not say that. If it did, then it would not have been possible to run dual metric and imperial measures for all these years. That is, if Magna Carta were treated like the US Constitution, which it is not. The UK constitution is a much more complicated entity. Have you joined the UKMA? http://www.usma.demon.co.uk/index.htm
