Why we buy eggs by the dozen, but chicken by the pound?
That brings up an interesting point.....jpanhalt,
The Colonel sells chicken by the piece at KFC.

Wasn't really expecting a reply, was more expecting threat of a ban for going way off-topic.
Tesco's sell chicken by the breast and thigh.
Is a colloquial form of English."Tesco's sell".
Sounds odd to me."Tesco's sells chicken ...",

"Tesco sells chicken"
I probably the most gramatically correct form.
Just my £0.02.

Just my £0.02.
As others have pointed out (give or take the apastrophe) this could relate to the whole chain of Tesco stores, or, it could be a colloquial way (in my dubious opinion) of referring to any one Tesco store."Tesco's sell". Is a colloquial form of English.
Often spoken as "just my two penneth", a contraction of "two pennies worth".Just my £0.02.
Edit, where will the next tangent take this thread?
Mike.
I agree, the discussion was pretty tangential at that point, and Eric decided to split the thread from its "pure" mathematical basis, if that ever existed, into what we have here. I think the simple answer to PG's question is that one should use the right tool for the right task. That is, different horses for different races.
Now, if we start talking about the statistics of horse races, maybe it will get back on topic.
