We turned to Metric currency in 1971, and although we were supposed to switch over to Metric weights and measures at the same time, because of the confusion caused to older people, many stores were "dual pricing" i.e. showing the value of product in terms of price and weight. Many packages carried the weights they contained in both Metric and Imperial weights (Grammes- Pounds & Ounces). The other issue is how long the matter took to get to Crown Court from the date of the incident, given that the case would have gone though Magistrates first, for evaluation. Then a decision that the matter would require a higher authority for it to be passed to Crown Court. With the waiting lists for both Courts, between the dates of the incident, referral to Magistrates, on to Crown Court could be as long as three months. So not likely, but certain cases did have these sorts of breaks; particularly of more serious cases needed to be heard urgently- what is known as Court Listings.
+Christopher Richarards Correction, it was Lynda La Plante (Mrs Carline-not Paula Carlisle/Carline) who was in the acorn syndrome episode of the professionals, just for the record...
I think this is a case of an ex wife not accepting her ex husbands remarriage. I just can't see how thrown peanuts can cause the type of injuries Felicity had. It's more likely she tripped and fell and is going after Paula because Andrew moved on with the younger, prettier Paula.
Great... ❤
l like this case... a bit of a twister.

"You've have a faint trace of a Geordie accent, sir."
We all know what happens with disgruntled chemistry teachers in straightened circumstances, they break bad.
Sorry..correction Chris Richards, it was Lynda la Plante (Mrs Carline(?)) who was in The Acorn Syndrome episode of the professionals. :-)
Was this a private prosecution? Because the prosecutor keeps referring to his client, not the Crown.

No
Was this before the UK switched Metric?
Yep
UK went metric in 1965, and decimal in 1971. Although it is illegal for road and map distances to be given in metric even in 2019.
MTFs, IMO.
