You can pay in pounds, but you can鈥檛 weigh in pounds鈥攕o says a British
court. Five market traders who were fined for selling Brussels sprouts, pumpkins
and mackerel by the pound in England took their cases to the High Court rather
than sell their goods by the kilogram as the law demands. But this week, after
raising more than 拢250,000 from public supporters for their legal defence,
the 鈥渕etric martyrs鈥� lost their cause. Four of the five are expected to appeal
to the House of Lords.
