Boris Johnson had better mind his p’s and q’s.
In for a shilling, in for a pound.
Degrees C for weather is one of the stupidest ideas ever. They are way too big.
Give these guys an inch and they’ll take a furlong.
For you Brits and soccer fans....pandemonium at the Championship Game in France. Press blaming it on Liverpool fans. So far game has been delayed 45 minutes.
“The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that’s the way I likes it.”
The metric system is overall better, but I’m used to the old system.
Wait until they see fuel prices in gallons again.
Why stop there? Use Fahrenheit too
Never forget that “inches” once saved the Hubble Telescope.
The telescope was going to be brought in for repairs. There was a Canadian arm that was supposed to grab the telescope and bring it into the Space Shuttle. The arm had troubles, so an Astronaut had his feet strapped down to the shuttle and reached out to grab the telescope. As the telescope was being lowered into the shuttle the astronaut was given instructions ... a few inches to the left ... drop it down about 6 inches ... a couple of inches to the right ... None of this 17CM to the left or whatever ... it was inches that saved the day.
When Boris learns to comb his hair, maybe someone will listen to him.
This is great! Go, Brits!
