Re: Brexit benefit

I think you will find that I have a consistent history here of posting approximately "leave the EU, are you nuts?". No hindsight required.

On another point here, no eurocrats imposed metric on the...

Re: Brexit benefit

For whom is that the real issue? The UK has chosen economic decline over continued concern with pathetic economic growth. It's like walking rather than riding in a car with a cracked rear light.

Re: Brexit benefit

What can be learned from Brexit? It's not likely that there will be another opportunity to throw away a major trading alliance. The only point in remembering it is that, if someone is exposed as...

Re: Brexit benefit

I actually had a big hole in the ground built this past summer. In Canada. It involved 130.7 tonnes of material to create a surface area 80x160 feet. Unbidden, the contractor used metric units for...

Re: Brexit benefit

I agree. I watched one of Mr. Pie's rants recently, probably a link from here, and thought his points well made, exactly what the Labour leader should be saying but isn't. Labour is ineffectual.

Re: Brexit benefit

Again, you have to forsake reality to make your point. The pool, like the house and the barns and whatnot, exists. It has dimensions 7x50x20 or, in metric 2.1336x15.24x6.096. You could give it neat...

Re: Brexit benefit

But, in real life, the pool isn't built in meters, it's 7' deep, 50' long, 20' wide and built on a plot of 100 acres, 4 of which separate the streets. If you try to express any of the dimensions in...

Re: Brexit benefit

I prefer imperial as it's more useful for practical things. Suppose I use a metric recipe and it calls for 500g of butter then i have to guestimate 46g so as to cut it off a slab to go with a full...

Re: Brexit benefit

So can we now say conclusively that electing Donald Trump, while monumentally stupid, was not the most stupid decision by an electorate this century?

Re: Brexit benefit

I rather admire Johnson. He,

- made up nonsense about the EU (banana regulations, imposition of metric, requirement to accept all immigrants from EU countries), got paid for it
- realized his...

Re: Brexit benefit

A heightened sense of sovereignty and a swelling of national pride. Also an enhanced probability of being rid of those Celts.

Re: Brexit benefit

The covid pandemic would only be equivalent to Brexit if someone deliberately infected you with covid so they could somehow advance their political career. If the implication is that Johnson is a...

Re: Brexit benefit

Also Italy. Probably other countries too, anywhere with a national service obligation.

Re: Brexit benefit

That's not quite true. We may have relatives in the UK and be sorry to see what's been done to them. We may have retained UK passports for ourselves, or for our children, with the thought of moving...
