Welcome back pounds & ounces

[wiljoy]

About time we regained some of our past. Boris is expected to revert back to our sensible imperial weights. That'll confuse some of our weighbridge brigade.

 

[Jays2]

Yes and let’s get back to shillings as well.

 

[Jays2]

Yes and imperial measurements, help everyone learn fractions! Common denominator! Or is that just a sex worker with low self esteem?

 

[63720]

Bring back bartering..

 

[chaser]

Have you ever used anything else, I havnt.

[dunnah01]

Please don't!

 

[Jays2]

All depends of what you have to barter! As for the sex dominator, couple of slaps for an egg!

 

[Stretto Boy]

Yes and let’s get back to shillings as well.

And Guineas

 

[Buzz67]

Yes. Because let’s face it, everything Boris does is a good idea.
How on earth is he still in the job?

 

[pappajohn]

Yes and let’s get back to shillings as well.

Yeah, pockets the size of balloons full of crap and shrapnel.
Sooner have a 100 'new' pennies in my pocket than 240 old ones.

Because he is a god!

I'm all for choice, happy to have both. I'm off for a pint!

 

[dash300]

Well one was!

 

[pappajohn]

I'm going for some timber .....I need 2.4mtrs of 2" x 2"
Oddly, 2" by 2" is sized as 47mm by 47mm

 

[dash300]

Yeah, pockets the size of balloons full of crap and shrapnel.

Coins in ones pocket, how quaint!

1 ounce of mint imperials = 25g.of mint metrics !!!

 

[Jays2]

1 ounce of mint imperials = 25g.of mint metrics !!!

1 ounce ! Are you tight, always a quarter.

 

[Otter Spotter]

I am off for a Litre

 

[PaulC70]

Yes. Because let’s face it, everything Boris does is a good idea.

Because he's great at distraction (this being another one) and people continue to fall for it.

That's planed around John, starts as 50x50 rough sawn.

A truly terrible idea but I suppose it’s easier for the clowns in charge of us to suggest this rather than sort out any serious problems.
Possibly, as some believe that everything was better years ago, we could return to having a bloke walking in front of your vehicle waving a little red flag. Now that I consider this, it would make the halfwited smart motorways safer.

 

[Larrynwin]

I still need to know how many Miles Per Gallon as do many of us

 

[Yorick]

I always liked pints but over here it's generally 500 mls.
But when it's €1.50 and ice cold, I can put up with it

 

[dna]

Yeah, pockets the size of balloons full of crap and shrapnel.
Sooner have a 100 'new' pennies in my pocket than 240 old ones.

but the money lasted such much longer in the "penny falls" arcades when you got 240 goes for a pound rather than 100

 

[dash300]

I rather think people have made him a distraction to cloak their agenda.

I go for the big stuff 3m of 4"x2".

 

[GeeCee]

This has got to be a joke right? Can't believe anyone is nostalgic for something so utterly without benefit and which would incur a ridiculous amount of cost to business. And if the only reason is a sense of Britishness then bear in mind lb (the shorthand for pound) originates from the Roman unit of weight - libra.

At least he could check for potholes

 

[Lenny HB]

Sound good to me, I get fed up with having to convert metric back to units I understand.

No joke for some. This is an amazing "benefit" and please stop pointing out the obvious. What did the Romans ever do for us?
