Woo Hoo! Pounds are back!
Translation: "We Socialist pantywaists aren't honorable enough to gracefully admit when we're beaten, so we'll just try the 'we were just kidding all along' ploy and hope that the people who weren't paying attention will buy it."
Why is it that whenever a news article about something the EU is going comes out, it makes the EU look sillier than it already is? I mean—CONSISTENTLY, these decisions make the EU look like a joke.
I loathe the metric system. At work, I am forced to use it. I constantly remind my associates that:
When we Americans walked on the moon nearly 40 years ago, we didn’t get there through use of the metric system...
Don’t get me started.
Yeah, right. Obviously, that's why they've been granting all those delays over the years that held off forcing metric on Britain against its wishes. Lyin' POS.
My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead, and that’s how I like it.
A pint of Guiness, please.
Hooray! The metric system is for idiots.
Excellent !!!
I hate grams, liters and kilometers. Too French.
Pounds, miles and pints rule the day.
The metric system is for idiots who can’t do simple math.
I actually had a guy claim he didn’t like miles as he had no visual concept of 5280 feet but somehow magically understood the kilometer at 3280 feet.
A funny thing about the metric system: It doesn’t match real-world measurements, such as navigation. Aviation still uses such measurements as knots as it agrees with navigation.
Woo Hoo! Pounds are back!
Better be careful the metric folks don’t creep up on us in this country. During the recent tennis matches, the height
and weight of the tennis players was shown in metric
terms.
Bttt
