The only thing I see in imperial measurements nowadays is weed. Still ounces and fractions thereof. I wish they’d go metric, but they’re not exactly incetivized to.

I will insist on calling metric “Real Measurements” just to annoy the reactionaries.

My MP may be a TER

:grimacing:

She’s not as bad as Rosie Duffield, but if she is going to be a weathercock then she will never be an ally. This is exactly the kind of bullshit that I left the Labour Party over.

I get the feeling that I will be writing a very stressful letter in the near future.

It’s just so idiotic.

Apart from distances on road signs (fun fact. due to the random mix of imperial and metric for distance, i’ve grown up where my sense of distance is: mm → cm → meters → miles) i’ve not used imperial mesurements.

I dont think anyone under 50years old in this country has. Metric is what ive been taught my entire life.

This is pure regression for the sake of regression…

The key word is ‘imperial’. Halcyon days, and all that.

Will we make Brenda an Empress for her jubilee?

If so which hapless country are we going to invade?

There’s not many places I can think of with the required “sharpened mango” level of weapons technology.

If she dies about half way between next weekend and Xmas, I’d be good with that. Sometime between October and the end of November, so we can have a suitable extra bank holiday before the winter, then another one for the coronation in the new year.

Royalty, they’re only good for the odd day off now and again.

She’s already the Pope, sort of. I think that’ll do.

I must admit “Defender of the Faith” is probably my favourite of the UK monarch’s titles.

Sadly, it turns out it doesn’t involve representing the Anglican communion at inter-faith theological disputations.

It’s political, i guess, and the flag shaggers are already out in force for the two day Jubilee holiday.

That’s fine though, it’s always entertaining seeing him go up against the latest seagull incarnation.
