Saw this whilst i was having my boiled egg and soldiers this morning (and a bit of smoked salmon). https://www.bbc.com/news/61621893.

i thought if the UK is going to celebrate the queens jubilee by re-introdcing imperial measurements (cos thats why we left the EU - brexit means brexit and i want my spuds in pounds not effing kilos) i thought there were some other things that we could re-introduce.

Window tax: get rid of all those effing French doors, its britain innit. Get rid of patio doors as well; british people have gardens not patios.
We dont need sewers, stupid roman idea everyone was happy with a trough in the middle of the road. Chuck your waste out of your sensibly sized british windows, if it was good enough for Boudicea its good ebough for the rest of us.
Rickets - it was making a comeback a few years ago in university halls of residence, im sure the government can make sure that all subjects of the crown gets a decent dose of the condition, in order to do that Limes, lemons and oranges are to be made illegal.
Chimney sweeps - why arent all five year olds being sent up chimneys - honest days work honest days pay.

im sure the queen (gawd bless 'er) would appreciate returning britain to what it once was.

Those bloody continental quilts gets on my nerves with their light, warm and comfy design. Ban them, I want my 1970s electric blanket and multiple heavy bed sheets back.

right on - nothing like a scratchy wool blanket.
how about we get rid of all this three ply soft toilet roll as well, it must be continental in origin, no true briton would ever prefer that over off-cuts of newspaper or even better that tracing paper stuff we had at school in the 70s. Smearingly magnificent

The Swede’s can have their bloody trolls back too..
 
Long live Brexit ! 6th anniversary coming up next month of the referendum. How great it was to see the results come in and Leave win.Now let's scrap decimal currency and return to pounds shillings and pence. What a wonderful feeling it was to receive a birthday card with a ten shilling note in it from Auntie Joan. Relief also that the postman hadn't nicked it. Happy days !👍🇬🇧😜

Your posts tend to be articulate showing a great knowledge of business, politics at home , but in particular a great depth of understanding of the inner workings of the EU , finance and cultural heritage of many of the world’s population..... and now humour is added to your portfolio.
It wasn’t until you confirmed smoked salmon as your choice at breakfast that I realised...... how little we have in common..😉🤣👍

Proper cars, British made like Vauxhall and triumph, non of your overpriced window tinted German shite….😎

Why cars at all, horse drawn carriages, a proper shooting brake for those with sporty driving pretensions. It would be great for tourism, provide some touristy competition for the Amish in Utah.
 
I go for a pint, I'm 6 foot 2, I weigh 14 stone, I watch the Derby over a mile and 4 furlongs, when kids are born their weight is announced in pounds and ounces, I judge my car's economy by miles per gallon, all road signs have mileage distances.

What exactly is Boris 'bringing back'?

It never went away. Yet another flag shagger's deflection that they'll all fall for, saying another benefit of Brexit.
 
Surprised they're not scrapping all that green nonsense and digging new pits. Coal is the future. Tons of it, not tonnes.

Nah... that’s the EU considering allowing set aside land to be cultivated again... green UK not doing.

So all the other things, they don't need bringing back, do they? More shite from Johnson.

For what it’s worth, my opinion is the EU is right to consider this.... world food shortages are coming thanks to Putin... short term measures my be necessary but the long term goal of more environmentally sustainable food and energy production must not be forgotten.
 
I’m old enough to remember slums and workhouses, bring them back i say, the lower echelons nowadays are spoilt rotten with their, universal credits, free fags, 120 inch TV’s, Sky sports, Mobile phones, free dog food, er, and subsidised er, bottles of Catena Zapata Adrianna Vineyard Riverstones Malbec 2016, string em up I say, it’s the only language they understand!!

Hangin's too good for em!
 
The government are on a winner with this reverting to imperial standard measures. I'm sure it will get the vote of all the right wing youth TR following nutters.

Govt Ref In Full-

1. Should be keep the metric system ie mm, cm m etc

2. Should we revert to the imperial measures such as LSD.

Whayhey.

Another reason is that people will understand the old measures such that when Johnson is said to be given an inch he takes a mile, they know what it means.
