You quoted a post where it was mentioned. Carry on then.

Who have? TV Licensing? No they haven't 😂😂😂😂😂😂 they rely on doorstep confessions and idiots letting them in.

Are you calling me a liar?

That would depend on the USP. The USP of this one is you can buy a ticket for one day. Not everyone wants to attend all 2/3 days of a multi day festival for various reasons. Not everyone enjoys the idea of camping for starters.

Chekhov would bow at their feet and lick their shoes. Obviously.

I also once had someone in front of me at Tesco argue the toss with the operator that a leg of lamb should be costing him £7 as that's what it said on the label. It was explained to him that it was £7 per kilo yet he was having none of it. Dont think that customer was right either....

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Utter garbage. I've seen with my own eyes people argue the toss in a supermarket to then be proven wrong. Stuff like "it definitely said it cost 50p on the shelf edge, why have you charged me a quid?". Employees goes off to the relevant aisle and proves them wrong, usually because the customer is a numpty and has looked at the wrong thing.

Assuming the person who compiled the FoI consulted all parties, of course. Just playing devils advocate here. I sent an FoI to SCC once, the reply came back with responses cobbled together from four different departments I hadnt explicitly named in the request.

OK Boomer.

Indeed. Most of the people who loved the system are now dead.

I am disappointed my posts dont met with your approval. Crying buckets here.

Just to actually prove this point as I know Organgrinder usually demands evidence... https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/tl8kg6q3i9/InternalResults_170222_AfterBrexit_W.pdf A Yougov survey from 2017 showed that only 7% of people wanted a return to this. Unsurprisingly, this proportion was higher amongst UKIP voters, leave voters and the elderly. Who woulda thunk it.

Think its time to leave the boomers to their delusions now.

Why is this even being discussed? Nobody campaigned for a return to pre-decimal currency during Brexit and no Government department or think tank is advocating for it now. Bizarre.

OK, and 52 years later do you really think that love still exists with the general population? Sorry to disappoint you...it doesnt. The world has moved on. Deal with it. Even without EU membership the currency would have changed at some point. given how the world was moving. As said, no other country in the world operates a non-decimal currency as far as I know.

I was born in the early 80s. Myself, along with the vast majority of the country, have absolutely no desire to change back to an archaic system of 240 pennies in a pound or whatever ridiculousness it was. I remember doing it in primary school, God knows why it was taught given the system had vanished 15+ years beforehand, very odd. Out of all the garbage spouted during the Brexit campaign I dont think anyone, not even Farage, was stating we could return to this system, it just seems to be something the boomers have latched onto, because going back would somehow stick two fingers up to Brussels. Odd logic.

Indeed, and I wont want to change everything about the world in order to suit my nostalgia whims. Anyone clamouring for a return to pre-decimal currency is only doing it for two reasons: a) nostalgia, and b) selfishness, ignoring all the practical implications. This is all off topic btw, absolutely nothing to do with Brexit.

No thats always been an outlier for some reason, never understood why. No issue with it tbh. Miles in cars too, and on signs, those wont be changing anytime soon because the cost to do all that would be ridiculous. If pre-decimal currency was great and fantastic it would still be in place. It isnt, which tell you all you need to know really. Nostalgia can be a bit rose tinted.

For the wrong reasons. If it was a good idea the changeover in the early 70s would never have happened. And that was before the EU membership, so Brexit has sod all to do with it really.

You could just buy some of these Padders... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Status-Remote-Control-Socket-White/dp/B00NMD4QL6/ref=asc_df_B00NMD4QL6/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=232061105168&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9500870540754810433&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046357&hvtargid=pla-385582952856&psc=1&th=1&psc=1 Put everything in the house on remote control.

Absolutely no sensible person wants all that back, the country has had decimal currency for over 50 years. I dont believe any country in the world operates a non-decimal currency, none of them are going to go against that now. Actually a slight edit, the only people who want that back are 70+ year olds and they only want it back to annoy anyone younger then themselves, no other reason.

I would detest any attempt to make things imperial only. I just bought 500g of carrots and 800g of mushrooms from the supermarket. My head is metric in terms of buying stuff like this and other food/drink stuffs. Same with petrol. If they want to show both: fine. I suspect there would be a huge pushback from the major retailers also.

Like I said, displaying both is fine and always has been. Those pillocks were attempting to display imperial only, as per Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_Martyrs "The group believed that vendors should have the freedom to mark their goods with imperial weights and measurements alone"

Its never been illegal, do they not fact check this? As long as both are displayed its fine. I suspect that retailers will still choose to display both anyway even if they no longer have to, given its only the old fogies who harp on about pounds and ounces, and supply chains extend greater than one country.

Pretty sure it was one of the lies bandied around during the campaign.
