I doubt their cars will be fit for taxi work after that but good to see the BNP branch into sports sponsorship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Iv just read the chairman of ASDA saying that the drive for imperial measurements is going to add costs, which will inevitably be passed to consumers. Is there a more perfect picture of "Normal Island" than any c**t thinking this is something thats worth doing. Then it occurred to me.... If you do this, you are then duty-bound to change the entire education system to ensure people grow up understanding it.... Except science works in SI units, and no matter how much of a gammon psychopath you are, that's just not going to change. So you are going to have to teach metric in schools regardless. Ministers are apparently looking at whether they should legislate that goods are sold only in lbs an oz, or whether a less prominent metric display should be allowed alongside. The biggest danger this country will ever face is from itself. Absolute, weapons grade psycho stuff. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely on point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 The imperial measurement stuff is laughable. It's not in their remit to make daft changes like this for themselves. It's not their job, unless there was some mad demand for it from the population, which there isn't. I doubt it will happen but all that would occur should it somehow come to pass is that daft imperial measures would be displayed alongside what we currently use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sort of mix we have now works fine, although I'd be absolutely fine if we went full metric. Not fine going full imperial though. It's just stupid nonsense from over privileged scum who want to drag us back to an imaginary golden era that never actually existed. As it is the Conservatives, I suspect there is some way they can see money to made from a change to imperial which, like pretty much everything they do, is what really drives them. They are greedy, grasping filth. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Was everyone taught imperial measurements at school? It's been almost thirty years since I left, and everything we did in science or maths was in metric. I only knew how to use them because my granny measured everything in ounces in the kitchen, and our measuring sticks at home were in feet and inches. I just assumed it'd be the same for anyone else my age or younger. Odds on the next manufactured difference to placate the older Tory voters? I'm guessing it'll be a return to the proper large one/two shilling pieces that the EU stopped us usingcitation needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Have I been imaging it, or has buying pints of beer never been outlawed? Also, are they talking about bringing back quarter gils of spirits (sixth of a gil in Tory heartlands)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 One of the biggest problems with imperial is the tendency to avoid the very useful number ten. There are ten chains in a furlong. Fine. However there are 4 rods in a chain, 5 1/2 yards in a rod, 3 feet in a yard, 12 inches in a foot. If an acre is a furlong by a chain, then how many acres in a square mile? These are all imperial units. Compare that to hectares in a square kilometre. 100. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were always 'allowed' and the UK government, be it Labour or Conservative, could have changed to them at any time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
