In the spirit of the season I just though I'd post a little gem as food for a minor rant smile

Government saves the Pint and the Mile

The future of the pint of beer and the mile have been secured, after the Government's victory in removing European legislation that would have required the UK to sell beer in litres and measure road traffic distances in kilometres.

Legislation agreed by the European Parliament will allow the UK to continue its use of the mile for roads, the pint for draught beer, cider and bottled milk, and the troy ounce for precious metals. The opt out has been granted indefinitely.
It was all good old Gordons mob apparently holding back the Gallic tide....

But Labour will happily sell our right to a longer working week away...

Christ, who gives a toss about pints and miles?

Can you imagine how many tax pounds would be spent changing all the road signs?

Well, as all politicians have a downer on speeding, they'll leave them all as they are now but insist they mean Km instead of miles.

Don't shout to loud about that idea.

Get rid of miles and use kilometres, don't give a toss about pints.
