Unlike decimilisation 'going metric ' has been a huge failure in that with decimalisation sixpences, shillings, half crowns etc quickly disappeared
Talking to Generation Thick who insist they have no idea about Imperial measurements ............... until I ask them how tall they are, what they weigh, what waist size, shoe size,even the size of their tits (and dick size is in inches) etc
Ask them how far somewhere is away (miles), half fast vehicle travels, what fiel consumption (mpg), snow/rain is still measured in inches, the wind sped in mph ...........
these are retained because imperial measurements are practical, and relate to everyday usage - metric doesn't, it is an arbitrary set of numbers based of numerical ease rather than practical use, thats why so much is merely imperial size converted to metric numbers (jam 454g size jar))
however given that so much is that, does it matter if a pound of bananas is referred to as 454 g ?
and anyone watching the football tonight will most likely be knocking back a few pints, naughty ones will be skinning up from an eighth (of an ounce), and watching the ref pace out ten yards.... and I don't doubt anything just missing the goal will be described as inches wide, not 25 or 50 millimetres wide
so I suspect just like next w/e those who want to celebrate will do, and those who think the royals should go will do their thing, without the need for a rule or regulation either way - so fck off bloater with your absurd posturing
anyway lets hope we get a honest ref tonight ..... the last one was as bent as a nine bob note  |
