Being told which weights and measures we can use, enforced
by law, has long been a sticking point and one example of
how EU legislation affects people directly.

Indeed.

Why would anyone want to use the same weights and measures as
their major trading partners ?

Its political correctness gone mad,
If I go to the shop to buy a pound of cheese having my whole life
used imperial
measures, and my trading partner at the counter having his whole life used
imperial measures is happy to weigh out a pound of cheese, why should the EU
tell us we have to use metric weights?


The EU didn't the UK chose too.
If the EU had said we were going metric why do will still use miles?

The GLC use km. Last week, there was a spokesman telling Nick Ferrari
how wonderful it was going be having a vehicle-free Sunday at the
weekend. Nick took him to task when he said that 27km of road would be
closed. This flummoxed the spokesman, who initially had great difficulty
giving the length in miles.


Something else to blame the EU for as far as brexiteers are concerned.

Do you blame them for not being able to get fish 'n chips in dirty news
print too?

Already done (either on the Nick Ferrari of James o'Brien show)!
