According to the BBC, the shop usually sells the Hafod Welsh for £12.90 (about 16.72) for 300g, the Westcombe for £7.15 (about $9.27) for 250g, and the Pitchfork for £11 (about $14.26) for 250g.
So they managed to convert pounds to dollars but not grams to pounds..?

You notice how these metric users promote the system because of the uniformity of everything being by 10s?
But they do not follow their own rules for weights. Why not say 3 hectograms instead of 300 grams? Why is the distance between the two most common weight measurements separated by a factor of 1,000? Not 10 or 100?
If you asked 100 Brits, Frenchies, or Candadians how much is a hectogram, maybe one in five would even know, and half of them by guessing. Pounds and ounces work.
