And then when they were in prison the council gave their house to immigrants and gave them a giant telly....
But there was a lot of what we'd now think of as conspiracy theorising amongst the anti-metric lot - everyone had a friend-of-a-friend who'd been busted for selling in imperial quantities.
the people i know who have been busted for selling in imperial units were generally busted less for the units than for what they were sellingI'm old enough to remember this at the time. In fact, we knew someone who mended sewing machines, who was bitterly opposed to not just metrication, but decimalisation - even into the 1980s, his invoice was in £sd.

By giant how many inches?
They only give them televisions in centimetres, just to annoy Jacob Rees-Mogg.
At least 100 but then they got double arrested and put in prison again for not using centimetres. You couldn’t make it up!!!!
No, not I couldn't make it up, you couldn't make it upAnyone claiming that you couldn't make it up, seems to be outing themselves as lacking imagination.

"Mansion House speech"?Sadiq Khan to claim 'hard-line' Brexit has cost the capital 300,000 jobs - CityAM
Sadiq Khan is set to warn Brexit has hit London’s jobs market, claiming the capital has lost 300,000 jobs as a result of the departure from the EUwww.cityam.com
A new report is being released alongside Khan's Mansion House speech tonight claiming there are 300,000 fewer jobs available in London thanks to the UK’s exit from the European Union.
Overall it says across the UK there are close to two million fewer jobs as a result of the nation’s exit from the European Union and the UK economy is almost £140bn smaller because of Brexit, with London’s economy shrinking by over £30bn.
I was referring to the crooks of the square mile, tbh.
I think it was probably far more nuanced than either binary take, tbh.
Nuance?, did you forget what forum you were posting on?
Given that there are only 1.5 million unemployed, I imagine the anti immigration brexiters are overjoyed by that number. Imagine how many more people we'd have to import to meet another 2 million jobs!Sadiq Khan to claim 'hard-line' Brexit has cost the capital 300,000 jobs - CityAM

If that's true they would, for example, surely want to have labour and conservative parties standing at general elections instead of unionists and sinn fein. More like they don't want to be treated differently when it's convenient to them.
The power sharing agreement seems to formally freeze out some parties, like Alliance. So in one way the choice for real power is between unionists and nationalists.
