Not content with confusing one generation with a switch of measuring standards, the UK propose we switch back now, and so confuse another generation about measuring standards too.

This time while also diverging from the standard measures used by literally the entire scientific world.

Hurray! Brexit truly makes us a global Britain, unique among the world for measuring things in fucking feet and inches and furlongs?

This radical imposition of the EU on my daily life is intolerable and I'll be glad to going back to buying by the pint instead of having to accept glasses with 473ml in them instead.
