btb Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Just when you think this government can't top what they've already done Boris just effortlessly trumps (sic) it.... Quote Boris Johnson will reportedly announce the return of imperial measurements to mark the Queen’s platinum jubilee, in an apparent attempt to garner support among Brexiter voters in battleground seats that the Conservatives are in danger of losing. We're finally through the looking glass! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely when people are struggling to buy food it’s comforting to know that you can ask for 7 ounce of own brand mince from Asda rather than 0.2 kilogram. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 You need to factor in just how gullible the average monarchy-loving British nationalist is - only this morning two national newspapers are giving away Jubilee tea towels. Old-skool patriotism and sexism, what's not to like ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 How could they enforce imperial measures? It isn't feasible. Even if there somehow was a way, products would simply print both measures and the vast majority of folk would continue to use what we already do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't subscribe to the particular conspiracy theory, but if they run out of jubilee tea towels, they could try to source Jurassic Park ones to issue instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty much what the "man in the street" used to say about kilograms when interviewed on Nationwide in 1982. We introduced Metric way before the EU and were mandating it before joining the EU because industries wanted to trade internationally. Fortunately this government is trying to end international trade, so there won't be any need for metres and the like anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 "Yes. Our customers are delighted that instead of buying a half kilo of bacon or ham or potatoes, they can now just ask for a pound. As it should be. However sales are down 10%. We are not sure why." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
