… Says the ‘tv’ Station paid for by mostly foreign money.
But you’re still too scared to get off the international standards so we can set our own.
“We are inching our way to international glory as a sovereign nation.” It’s just a shame that everyone else is _walking_ their way there.
Fuck off, for one reason and one reason alone,because you’re an idiot who’d say anything for a bit of attention.
Let’s canonise Jimmy Savile for one reason and one reason alone. Because he’s British.
I believe the Blue Passports were French, and Imperial measures while probably British are all well and good until we want to trade with the rest of the world.
America uses pints and gallons, but they are different sizes to British pints and gallons. The metric system was designed to help solve stupid problems like this.
They still post to their website? Why no one gives a shit about them not even the guy who started the damn channel
Imperial units are of Roman and Germanic origin. Pound is abbreviated as LB because it comes from the latin libra pondo hence why the pre-euro Italian currency was called the Lira. Other European countries had their own versions of imperial units but switched over to metric as it is objectively better and it makes sense to have a clear and consistent measurement system throughout society.
Also blue passports were a standard set by the League of Nations and still pretty widely adopted by many countries today.
They still serve pints doesn’t they? Unless I’ve been drinking litres all this time?
I thought this was a newsthump headline
Cringeworthy.
Imagine being so pathetically insecure that this matters to you.
Ah, that’s worth the disruption, the loss of business, the confusion and the FUCKING STUPIDEST REASON I’ve heard. “But it’s british.” Fine, let’s bring back the workhouses, slavery, longbow practise being legally required. But this is GB news, somehow, it managed to be worse then the Daily Mail. and the Daily Mail used to employ shithawks like Katie Hopkins.
Our “British” blue passports are produced in France and get held up at the border. Meanwhile Croatia has blue passports and is still in the EU. Because we could always have had them, our government chose not to.
