I do love a UOM cockup, well, when it's not my own that gets me a call from a very distressed personal assistant wondering why her box of letterheads she ordered has become a 1000kg pallet

Orkney banana bonanza after Tesco store orders 38,000 by mistake

An ordering glitch has left Tesco in Kirkwall giving away boxes of the fruit for free to schools and community groups.

@FlanFlinger "toddler groups" makes it sound like roving packs of them are showing up to tesco and demanding the fruit.
Hang on hang on, let's not go right past the '1000kg pallet' line without some explanation!
@FlanFlinger you may enlighten us....
