Sticky - Hand luggage restrictions for flights from UK airports.

I'm in London now, and am travelling Europe only with carry on that meets the size requirements. However, my bag (25lbs) will have to be checked due to the low weights allowed for carry on. Check with the individual carriers for the limits, but it was a shock for me for how little I was allowed to take compared to most US flights.
Is there a weight limit and size limit? I can pack my carry on till it holds 35+ lbs and it still fits the size requirement. No problem for me lifting it into the overhead.
 
Please note that you are responding to a post from 2011 - the best practice would be to go to your airline's website and look at the size/weight limits for carry-ons.
 
We flew Aer Lingus from Edinburgh to Dublin and then again from Dublin to S.F. and had no problems with the carry ons. I had a decent size tote bag that weighed about 25 lbs and a backpack that weighed 12-14 lbs and had no issues. I paid about 12 pounds per suitcase more to be able to have checked bags up to 50 lbs in weight. We didn't see anyone who was denied taking a carry on aboard either flight for being too big. But neither we didn't see anyone taking on board the rolling suitcases you see on US flights.
