ImperialMeasures a.k.a. Rubbishing the Brexiters... 🤣 new game of the Summer 2021.
Why 🙄🙄🙄
nooooooo
Finally I can barely read a regular ruler!
JohnsonOut
Nah. It's just the government distracting us with stupid stories.
Thank god for brexit! Freedumb!
World has gone metric. Only the Brits & US still stuck in their imperial measurements. Maybe they just want to be special from the rest. Maybe now they find it is not sustainable when every measurement needs conversion. Damn stupid Brits
So stupid 🤣🤣
Well I am sure the single use plastic industry is looking forward to that event and the profits they will make.
No it isn’t.
Would you prefer if we centimetre away?
That's not true at all 😂 It's rolling back the obligation to always use metric and never make imperial more prominent. Traders will be free use what they like, which will probably be metric. Extending freedom of choice is almost always a good thing.
🤣
Last year I had a surgical procedure and the nurse told me to call the hospital if I leaked more than one cup of blood, less and it’s nothing to worry about. I had to do some mental calculations while dizzy with anesthetics

Only over-70s are going to like imperial. Keep it in 10s please
Good riddance
A new pathetic front in the culture war to appeal to the over 70s, I guess its less harmful than fights over abortion laws or guns but it's still absolutely pitiful.
Bc. Guess what. Deep down inside in places they refuse to acknowledge. They all wanna be Americans. But sadly for them they don’t have the balls.
Starts with Blue passports, imperial measures, they’ll soon be reinstating compulsory tea at 4pm and fog in London…
The U.K. was never all in. Looks like they want all out. Financial reality might decide.
Ils sont devenus fous.
Why? US tourists will rejoice!
The English-speaking world are a bunch of geezers.
Why? If anything, the US should be using the metric system like almost every other country in the world.
Next up black and white TV snd horse drawn carts.
We win, again.
what the fuck
you mean centimeter-ing away ?
Of course they are...
Inching away. Hahahaha
That's hilarious
Dumb. Wish we were inching towards metric
This is so dumb. Rationally, we all know SI units are 'better' in many regards. So this is a purely emotional/tribal thing. Way to shoot yourself in the foot.
Because adding 23/32” to 3-5/8” is so much more convenient than using millimeters or centimeters. That’s just silly
going back to last century's math? how quaint!
