Brexit - was it worth it? (Vol. 2)

[DeejRC]

But nobody is realistically talking about imperial measurement stuff. I’ve watched the beeb news for the last 2 days and it isn’t a topic.

Do you not think per chance that it’s a none story?

Oh and horses are still measured in hands all over the world. I’ve unfortunately had to learn that lesson. I still don’t know what a hand is. It’s a bloody stupid measurement and I don’t want to know what it is. I’ve stopped caring and just pay the bill each month. It’s easier.

Yet the French still sell wine by the “bottle” not by the litre

A “bottle” being enough to serve two people and an old imperial measurement of a “fifth” of a gallon

And when you see a ruler used by kids all over the metric world it’s not a metre long it’s a foot long

Horses are still measured in hands not metres

Etc

Your shoes are measured in barleycorns!

The only people I've seen going on about it are the more obsessive Remainiacs, who seem upset that Granny is laughing at them. It really isn't a story.

The stuff with the US is a story, but we're ignoring that
