Battling to hold onto his job after partying during the pandemic, reports say UK PM Boris Johnson has a nostalgic suggestion to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. He’s expected to announce a return to imperial measurements to allow British shops to sell products in pounds and ounces. Britain currently uses a mix of imperial and metric measurements – speed limits are set in miles/hour, and milk and beer are bought in pints. And while it might sound to some like our former government’s throwback to knights and dames, it was 2000 when the European Union’s requirement for metric weights and measures came into force. So not only would it be a Jubilee measure, but it’s also a hat tip to the Brexit true believers. Fun fact: aside from Britain, 3 countries make everyday use of the imperial system – the US, Myanmar and Liberia.
