It is perfectly legal to sell 'four by two' in the UK. The regulations that you may be thinking of relate to the words that follow 'per'. >I honestly have to admit I know almost nothing about this >particular example, so its difficult to comment. I am glad you added that caveat. UK law is not quite what you may think. Everything is allowed except that which is forbidden. Swindon Council in the UK sells 'four by two' quite legally.
