Not well for many, who would prefer to stick with the convenience of the metric system, first introduced to the UK in 1965.
While most saw through Boris’s barely concealed attempt to distract from his endless trail of recent disgraces, a couple hopped on board, ready to roll back the years and return to the good ol’ days of the British empire.
Sure it’s more confusing and the system is outdated, but it’s different from what they have in Europe, and that’s good apparently …
Man was later arrested by MI5 for leaking state secrets.
Important: he followed up by saying he’s a teacher.
Poor guy’s a teacher. Imagine making 30000 a year to have to unteach a room of glaswegian preteens the metric system and reteach them the conversions between pounds ounces and tons
The national scot. LMAO.
Imperial isn’t going to be brought back for god sake. Anyone with a half functioning brain would see that. Its a dead cat story.
