You've lost me there... it's still illegal to not display a metric
weight on goods being sold, I believe... last autumn the government
announced that small traders who did not would not be prosecuted "as
it isn't in the public interest", but they're still technically
breaking the law.

Not sure what the situation is with the weight of a laptop, as the
price is not really related to the weight in the way that, say, Corn
Flakes or apples would be.
