B3TA fixes the worldMoon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

Even if you can't convert between l/ml and p/£,the phone in your pocket probably can. Not to mention that the shelf label often has a standard price per unit printed on it for comparison purposes.
Simple maths, basic reading, and the use of common tools are beyond you, yet you're "no thickie"?
EDIT: urgh, that was incredibly condescending of me. If you need me, I shall be on the balcony, sobbing with self loathing, and eating a croissant.

My point exactlyIf there WAS a standard price per unit on the shelf, I'd be a happy (if sad) man. I could try using my phone but TBH, I'm getting long-sighted in my old age and have real trouble with small print/text without my reading glasses.
And finally...while I manage to stick it to the man on most occasions by picking the cheapest deal, not everyone's as astute as me...it's them I'm thinking about.
And why should supermarkets get away with it. I'll be back with examples on Monday.
