Or minimum alcohol pricing? Or affected your life badly in any way at all? 1) Changed my passport from blue to maroon 2) Changed the default measurement system from imperial to metric 3) Standardised banana shapes Wait a minute. These are all good things! Why exactly are we leaving? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that metrication is yet another euromyth, don't you? Like bendy bananas & passport colours. Metrication was announced in 1965, long before we joined the EU. I was attempting to take the piss. Looks like I failed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't really paying attention to the line of thread in this discussion tbh and you've gave me a decent idea for a thread.
