From the page linked from my previous post.

> Alongside the Crown symbol guidance, a consultation has been published today on how to implement a change to the law on weights and measures, so that shoppers and business have greater choice over the way they buy and sell products.

> The measurements consultation will run for 12 weeks, and a range of stakeholders are being invited to contribute, including businesses, trade associations, enforcement bodies and consumer organisations.

invited

So does that mean that individuals will have no opportunity to contribute a response to the consultation?

If a kilogramme of carrots costs x, what will two pounds of carrots cost?

The above question is not just about the mathematics of it, but about the practical implications moneywise for people who are shopping.

And not just carrots!

Carrots in Tesco cost about 4p each. There are about 10 carrots in a kilo. I always buy the number of carrots I think I'll need.

So do I.

I am still mainly imperial - especially when it comes to dimensions !
I can easily picture something that is either in feet and inches, but put it into cms or mms and nope, have no idea!
I have come unstuck with buying items online over the past months - many things have arrived looking a lot smaller than I expected!
