“It comes in pints??!!??!!!!???”
Go ahead, President Trump, after annexing Greenland as the 51st state, add England and Wales as 52 and 53. Scotland and Northern Island of course can come along as 54 and 55 if they’d like.
Oh, and next in line, as 57? Poland, please.

I’m looking forward to a return to pounds, shillings and pence...
12 shillings to the pound. 20 pence to the shilling...
Metric System is ongoing proof of the STUPIDITY OF PROFESSORS of Academia.
Metric is a stupid system for everyday use. Europe should keep it as a never ending reminder of the stupidity of University Professors.
Base 10 measure for everyday use is ignorant and stupid.
But, they wouldn't be the ones who would have to pay to simply eliminate all the Imperial tooling, machines, and the tools to maintain and repair them.
A company has a 60 year old packaging machine with a burned out motor. It's scaled in inches, uses a 20 inch sheet of plastic as feed stock. A Leftist would demand that it be scrapped. A conservative would want to replace the motor.
[The Conservative leader added: “I think the reality is a lot of people are now educated in the metric system; we have to recognize that. But people… I understand what a pound of apples is. I also understand what a kilo of apples is. There will be an era of generosity and tolerance towards traditional measurements.]
Whenever I read something in kilos or meters or ccs, I have to convert it to US standard before I know how much it is.
The limeys don’t have any constitutional prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, do they? Maybe they’ll impale Corbyn on a stake.
They should bring back the old money system too...shillings, crowns, guineas. While it was a little cumbersome to learn, once you did it was way more functional.
I want pounds, shillings and pence.
I gonna have to sit in the pub and consider this over a 568.261 ml.
