Get your juicy apples - they're lovely!

It's difficult to understand all this fuss about market traders being prosecuted, or threatened with prosecution, for selling fruit and veg in imperial pounds and ounces rather than grams and kilos. The fact is that there is nothing to stop you selling in imperial measures provided that you have the equipment to also measure out in metric units. So it's just a matter of getting an extra set of metric weights for your scales. Provided you can meet a request for a kilo of potatoes, say, then you are complying with the law. I can only assume that these "metric martyrs" as they are being called are just being rather unnecessarily silly - or that some Trading Standards officers don't know the law!
