in the balance

trade certified scales in accordance with EU directive of 2001 - I don't think!

It just p*ss*s me off that our stupid bureaucrats do everything they can to defeat the small business with regulations and expensive equipment while in more pragmatic countries these people are allowed to continue to do business. The most efficient regulator is the customer. Sell a Sicilian wife 900grams of spuds and charge her for a kilo and her old man will probably recover the missing 100grams from a very tender spot!
