The return of pounds and ounces is without doubt the clowning glory (pun intended) of Brexit.

The bonfire of regulations and asking the public for their input is beyond satire. They are not Governing as much as mocking us now.

I remember Cameron - Chaos with Ed.

Imperial measures will return, but with the same impact as 'taking back control'.

You heard it here first folks!

Perhaps they can use imperial measures to hide the price rises. 2lbs is 1kg isn't it.... :sneaky:

We did take back control. Have you not seen the crown on pint glasses. Worth it!
 
Definitely going back to the 70s. Our bins not emptied for 10 weeks. Shortages, industrial chaos, rampant inflation with parts of economy suffering. Wondering when the power cuts will happen just to recreate the genuine 70s experience. It's only getting worse.

Summer of discontent is upon us and we're regaining our 'sick man of Europe' title. Bozo makes Wilson and Callaghan look competent. Feeling like I'm in an episode of Life On Mars these days.

It's often easier to read off the imperial measurements on a tape, always impressed by how at ease builders are with metric measurement.

That is actually a real possibility this year, or even we'll all be cold as the gas is to expensive..
 
perhaps we could all pull together for a 3-day week.

Mottie would have to visit his allotment on alternate days. "Dig for Victory!"

I blame the shortage on people buying electric vehicles, and lack of investment over the decades. Nationalise it all, gas, electric, phone, water, rail ,steel, the lot.
