Tories are getting close to a Labour majority in the polls and they have the 2 by elections soon where could lose to both Lib Dems and Labour. 

 

A new leader later this year would suggest time to make an impact. If Boris stays he'll back himself to turn it around but needs time for example for energy prices to come down.

So, let me get this straight. Before Brexit, traders were allowed under EU rules to price mark produce using Imperial measures.

 

So what exactly is new here??

Forgetting for a moment the populist garbage that this is, especially if what @WorldChampions1902 is correct in what he says!

 

I have been educated using the metric system, my first exposure to imperial measurement was, bizzarly when I joined Ferranti as a craft apprentice, I'm an old geezer now and there are a couple of generations who know nothing else other than metric.

 

They really are full throttle to the bottom... charlatans!

I read it as the EU insisted that metric had to  also  be displayed beside imperial but now they can choose either or.

That’s not technically true. There’s quite a few imperial measurements that you and others have used all your life. Height, weight, distance etc

Being educated in metric is absolutely true, though I'll agree that as you get older you slip not usage...mph, pint of beer, milk etc. Also parents and grandparents would still use the imperial system so you slipped into usage I suppose.

In keeping with the majority of your posts you couldn't be more wrong if tried really hard.

In March 2009 a new directive (2009/3/EC) was agreed amending existing EU regulations on metric measurements.  
The new regulations permitted:  
• the indefinite use of dual labelling in metric and imperial measurements;  
• the indefinite use of non-metric measurements where no metric ones exist, such as bytes in computing;
• the indefinite use by the United Kingdom and by the Republic of Ireland of the pint, the mile and the troy ounce for certain specified uses.
The regulations came into force on 1 January 2010.  No new time limits were imposed and so these decisions effectively became derogations and not, as they had previously been regarded, as transitional measures.  

 

This is all just mair pish aimed at the feeble minded so they'll keep voting Tory.

I see.

 

So if you are correct, our Junta is about to legislate to allow traders/retailers to advertise their wares in purely Imperial measures. At a time when there is a cost of living crisis, and 80% of the adult population is not educated in Imperial measurements.

 

What can go wrong? But the Gammonati will be happy. Like our fish. FFS.

Was that a guess you cheeky monkey? I distinctly remember buying a 105cm TV in Holland and being unsure if it was a 42" or not.

 

(I was just awake when I answered last time BTW, I had in mind the whole factory worked in inches from what you'd said. I'm dumber then usual when just awake)

It's a strange thing for the gammons to get their knickers in a twist over though, eh? Other countries do use pints, but not all pints are equal:

 

-UK Pint 568ml

-US Dry Pint 551ml

-US Liquid Pint 473ml

-South Australian Pint 425ml (called a Schooner in NSW...tastes the same).

 

I understand a sentimental attachment to certain language, but if this really is part of the 'brexit dividend' for some, completely ****ing your economy and the life opportunities of this and future generations, over a unit of measure? Barking mad!

It's more red meat for the half wits they duped into voting for them.

 

It's another distraction to hide the fact that the central issue they fought Brexit on, taking back control of their borders, lies in tatters after 1,000,000 visas for were issued to Johnny Foreigner last year. The highest number on record. 

 

Every promise they make is a lie.

 

Everything they touch turns to shit.

So what exactly is new here??

1. The UK transferring to metric measures had nothing to do with EU membership. The UK agreed, when it signed the OIML( International Organisation of Legal Metrology) treaty in 1856 to move to a single system of measurement(S.I. units). Metric measures have been lawful in the UK since 1875. Is this Government proposing the UK leaves this treaty?

2. Only America, Liberia and Myanmar currently use imperial measures. (The US system is actually slightly different )

3. We currently have a national shortage of Weights and Measures Inspectors. Is this Govt going to pay for new Inspectors to be trained which currently takes 6 years.

4. Certificates of approval for Imperial metrological equipment have long since lapsed. Who will subsidise industry the cost of the new certification and equipment?

5. Most imperial local standards and testing equipment have long been retired. Who will fund Local Authorities the cost of this equipment. The cost of a local standard mass comparator (an accurate weighing machine) is approx £30k.

6. Imperial measurements have not been taught in schools since the mid-70's. Indeed, most taught that system have now retired.

7. Filter in the cost to industry of amending packaging and we will be talking millions.

 

In short, a ridiculous, expensive and pointless exercise which will further isolate UK. So much for Global Britain

 

 

[Mikey1874]

Probably not unexpected that after the Sue Gray report and the Met Police enquiry that the media which were making their own investigations is publishing what they know about other parties not mentioned.

 

More trouble for everyone involved.

If you're drinking in the UK it's the "Imperial Pint", biggest of the lot! Those poor buggers in South Australia, ordering a pint and getting a schooner though,  shameful.

I would imagine these “Rule Britannia” people will stop short of doing away with fuel being sold in litres, thus bringing back gallons. Can you imagine the jaw dropping when the price of a gallon of fuel is displayed at a filling station.

I remember when a gallon of petrol hit £1. There was outrage.
