[muglo] Re: RANT on Canadian imperial settings & politics (wasRe: OS Autoconnect)

well, I don't really mind which measure stores use for pricing 
veggies... but I do so hate when you see all the prices listed in 
pounds, as in 59=A2 a pound for banannas, but then when they ring them 
through on the reciept you get the price in Kilos.

How can you tell, if you, say, actually got said item at the 
advertised price? That is the screwy part I hate.
