The government actually IS doing a consultation on bringing back imperial measurements!

I thought it was a joke.
AIBU to think this is a complete load of bollocks waste of money?

The questions don't even give you the option of saying just keep metric.
Example question -
For Consumers,

a) If you had a choice, would you want to purchase items:

(i) in imperial units?

(ii) in imperial units alongside a metric equivalent?

As this is an island, the only land crossing is the Channel tunnel, what would be the advantage to changing?

Forgot the NI/Republic of Ireland border, sorry folks.

On the topic of miles/km when we lived in Germany we were used to both moving backwards and forwards but I could not understand why 60 miles on a UK road sign seemed much further than 100km on a road sign in Germany! 100km seemed to be almost home.

It would be such a relief to have imperial measures back - I still think in them and have to convert to metric for most things.

They never went away though. 🙄
