Then you get shops like M&S where all the expensive varieties of (for example) tomato are £/kg and the cheap ones are £/unit so you can't see the big price gap.

Nah, in places where you're obliged to put the price/kg on display that would be illegal. But writing a price per unit in LARGE font and adding a really ~small~ price per kilo would be a legal, albeit shitty, move

It still happens in Scandinavia where these laws exist, with e.g. toilet paper, where some are listed per kg, some per roll, and others per meter.

They are missing a chance to also sell per m^2^ and per cm^3^
