A bit like the Prices & Markings/Trade Descriptions Acts. If a shop displays a price which is HIGHER than the price they accept in tender for the goods, it is in law an infringement of the law, just as if they displayed a lower price and charged more. Which local authority would take them to task for that? None - it'd be crazy. The principle is there, it's wrong, but not really going to be punished - as in your point Alexander.
