Oh no!! Brexit not going quite as well as hoped

I am probably missing something here - but I thought quarter of a pound was 113g or I guess also 25 pence. This imperial stuff is hard work, best we scrap it.

Yes, I spotted that too, though I think it should be rounded up to 114g. Or a crown, though not a crown on a pint glass, or 2 1/2 florins, etc.

Five shillings or sixty pence.

£4/3/2 1/2 - £2/14/7 1/2

Or

£4.16 - £2.73

If you think Boris is doing this for practical purposes then you are deluded.

He is doing it to appeal to the "patriotism" of a certain type of his audience who still believe we were forced into metrication by those nasty EU people. He is backed by Rees-Mogg who even displays his prejudice by the incorrect and pejorative use of the word Suzerain.

And losing the votes of millions of young people who have no clue what most of the measurements even mean.

I would walk 804.672 kilometres and I would walk 804.672 kilometres more just to be the man who sees that fat oaf johnson booted out the door.

If it wasn't for metrication a century ride would take far too long for me.

If we had to go metric I would have no idea what size clothes to buy. My trousers are 30/30, my shirts are 15, my jackets are 38. I haven't a clue what that lot is in cm.

My vision's 20/20, what would that be in imperial?

The metric size is probably on the label, as well as the UK size, same with shoes.

Well quite apart from that not being the point, I just checked a pair of trousers, a shirt and a jacket and they were all labelled in inches only.
