Imperial Weights and Measures - Another fantastic Brexit Bonus!

I think the argument is that Generation Z are going to be having panic attacks because they don't know if the price of five bananas they bought last week is going to cost the same of five bananas next week because the greengrocer has decided to be particularly mischievous and wrote his price labels in drachm and hundredweight.
But thanks to Brexit I suppose generation x will be able to have straight bananas

Maybe you really just don't get it.

Oh well I've expanded it to you now. You keep up wishing your country would regress. I just find it sad you would. And you'd get so upset about it that you'll insult anyone who wants the UK to look forwards. I've known from many Brexit arguments that you people are very vociferous and stubborn about this. So well done. You should be proud how strongly you defend your backwards views.
 
I bet you are. You're also ignoring the fact that it will disadvantage kids. Just so you can feel happier about growing old and bringing the past back to life.

That's really selfish.
So you are the type that actually asks for 568.621 millilitres at a bar? Or is it an appletini?

Plus you don't care about the kids. These past 18 months have shown that. Disadvantaged? Got nothing at all to do with wether you measure alloy wheels in inches or an IKEA wardrobe in millimetres. Kids are suffering because of a Tory government, one they never voted for.

Two ridiculous and poorly thought out arguments all in one.

A new record for you.

Kids are advantaged, clearly and empirically because of brexit and its knock on effects such as this one. Emboldened the backwards and the regressive thinkers to argue loudly about us going back to a time of poorhouses, stovepipe hays and everyone dying of TB.

You can't see me argue to give children a decent start in life and then say 'you don't care about kids' well, you clearly can because Randy is as Randy does. Just means you are wrong

You don't. You wanted schools shut, you wanted them kept shut to protect you from a virus. When they reopened you wanted the kids masked up all day. **** the kid's education and social upbringing right?
So yes I will call you out on your hypocrisy Smalltime.

There's a great irony when you keep calling people insular, backwards, parochial and wanting the nation to regress when you repeatedly vote in this shower of ***** Tory government.

Go read back through the lies and exaggeration you've spewed in this thread and tell me you're not embarrassed. Really is an odd way to carry on.

We've already proven there were no lies. Good way of trying to spin it though. Don't be embarrassed some people like "the good old days"
 
You don't. You wanted schools shut, you wanted them kept shut to protect you from a virus. When they reopened you wanted the kids masked up all day. **** the kid's education and social upbringing right?

Did I? I look forward to you showing Mr where I said that. Why are you lying about me @Randy ? Even for you that's low
 
You claimed "everyone under 40 has only been brought up with metric". This is your exact quote and it's a lie. At least two people in this thread under 40 have told you so.
You constantly claiming I want the country to regress is another lie.
Implying metric is being taken away - another lie.
All you do is lie.

We have had the metric system in this country for 40 years. That a fact. Sorry it doesn't fit in with your regressive views.
 
And as I have now twice pointed out to you; that isn't the claim you made.
People under 40 haven't only been brought up with metric.
Clearly another thing you fail to understand.

Not sure how many goalposts you wish to move. The fact is we have had the metric system for 40 years so, yes, anyone under 40 has been brought up under the metric system. Yes I am aware we use miles and pints but everyone under 40 can easily work out what that means in l and KM .

So yes, anyone under 40 has been brought up under metric. It's not difficult to understand
 
"Not sure how many goalposts you wish to move"
"everyone under 40 has only been brought up with metric"
"We have had the metric system in this country for 40 year"
"So yes, anyone under 40 has been brought up under metric."

The irony...
 
i still use feet and inches,im 60it works both ways,when they did it the first time it confused everyone,its no biggie really
 
"Not sure how many goalposts you wish to move"
"everyone under 40 has only been brought up with metric"
"We have had the metric system in this country for 40 year"
"So yes, anyone under 40 has been brought up under metric."

The irony...
You seem to be being confused by the truth
 
"Not sure how many goalposts you wish to move"
"everyone under 40 has only been brought up with metric"
"We have had the metric system in this country for 40 year"
"So yes, anyone under 40 has been brought up under metric."

The irony...
I wouldn't bother MFP, you either get you don't understand me, you're bullying me or he reverts to name calling, he also lied about me, just leave him to it, he'll bring another thread to the forum just so he can argue & play the victim

That's some bold comments there and also hypocritical to defend MFP with them. He has done his fair share of name calling. He also called me a liar until I proved him wrong.

This time the onus is on you. You have accused me of lying about you. What lie is this? Do tell
