Umm, I'd be really quite impressed if you remembered the introduction

I don't remember 1266 personally, but that was one of the regulations I
had in mind.

Similarly unlikely you'd remember the Bread Act of 1822, which fixed
the weight of a loaf to one pound.

The 1822 Act only applied to London. Other areas were covered by the
Bread Act 1836.

I bow to your recollection... grin
