As we all know, there are still some shops in the UK that
have not metricated their scales. And the authorities, claiming to wait
for the outcome of all court decisions have not prosecuted anyone
lately.
Does anyone from the UK who posts here know what they have
been doing? Are they recertifying non-metric scales or scales that are not
in accordance with the law? If not, are they still allowing traders to use
non-certified scales?
If a trader is using a non-certified scale and a
customer claims to have been cheated, does the customer have any
recourse especially if they choose to do business with traders whose
scales are not certified.
The only way I see for the issue to be settled is for the
authorities not to certify scales. Other methods might be to require
that any scale not in kilograms not be allowed to be recalibrated or
repaired, unless converted first.
Scouts can be sent out to buy samples of weighed products
and bring them back to the lab and have them weighed and if the amount they paid
for is not the amount they got, then to file cheating charges against the
trader.
Any idea as to what is happening?
