A person's height in feet and inches.
A person's weight in stones and pounds. But grams and kilos if it's say food or weight you lift.
Distance in meters outside of football, yards at the football.
Distance driven in miles, but distance ran in km or miles depending!
Small distances on a tape measure are cm though...
Drink in pints, obviously. Errr unless it's a 330 ml bottle. But petrol is by the litre.
So dependent on the frame of reference. It works, somehow
I think we'll have a bit of both for a long time to come, and that's fine.
You but any white goods item for your kitchen and its dimensions will be metric but I bet you still say your tv has a 40” screen.
Surely it has to stay Metric as a matter of Commonsense.
Most of us who member Imperial will be gone in 20 years time.
Im big on humour...but even I dont get how that relates to what I posted!you've got cocks on the brain!
I suspect your personal hatred of the government is leading you to misremember what they said. But in any case, if they did say that, they were probably thinking more that people on low wages would get higher wages, rather than thinking that people already on high wages will get yet more.This government is brilliant. They shouted from the rooftops that Brexit will deliver a high wage economy as all those nasty foreigners have gone home leaving huge vacancies in the NHS, leisure, service and care industries and what a great thing it is. Now they see that workers such as train drivers will be demanding higher wages and suddenly a high wage economy is a really bad ting as it fuels inflation.
