My regional TV news this evening featured an item about the price of meat
in various supermarkets, including Tesco.
All prices quoted were per kg only.
What is on a regional TV news feature and what is actually displayed in a
real Tesco could be 2 very different things!
If a news item said "a stretch of road 20km long" would that mean the signs
on the road are in km?
I suggest you write to the supermakets Mr Humphreys and tell them your
little secret. Let them know why you don't shop there anymore. All they
would have to do is put a few imperial prices around the place and bingo,
their fortunes will be revived.
1) I can't be bothered to write to organisations telling them to appeal to
the customer
2) In this case, the customer tends to "come last" anyway - hence a massive
market share held by Tesco. You must know about their "grey area" jean
sales too - they ignored the EU on that one too (but I think they were
eventually forced to put their prices up, or something).
Interesting to note that where people have obviously complained about lack
of informtaion changes have been made to supply impierial - "Betterware" is
one example that springs to mind.
