Imperial Measures

Rees-Mogg is leading a study into the viability and advantages of the UK moving back to Imperial measures.

I read that post Brexit, the UK could once again have a glass stamped with the pint mark however, also read that there was nothing stopping that happening whilst in the EU.

I also remember reading that Imperial measures could be used whilst in the EU as long as the metric measure was also included.

Therefore not a Brexit issue apart from the dropping of the metric measure.

Is there a benifit or are we simply wasting taxpayers money investigating the benifits of moving back to these measures?

Total waste of time and money

It would just be a vanity project nothing more

I for one welcome the regression.

Maybe we can all move into houses made of mud, and eat turnips for three meals a day.

And they said brexit was a bad idea.

Haha.

The imperial measurement system, yeah no-one asks for a litre of beer anyway, but Reese-Frog is a slimy guy, and in this government, slimy runs up.

Pub glasses always were labelled in pints....and never in metric. Or did you stop drinking during our EU membership?

No such thing as a 568ml glass in any pub. Past, present or ever....that was my point.
