I should start of by stating that I love Europe, I love European law, I love the people of Europe - the more the merrier, I love the open borders and free trade and I have no problems with Britain adopting the Euro as our currency.
Where I do have a problem is this latest move, not by EU I should add, to get rid of our imperial measurment system.
I love feet and inches They are a common sense set of measurements and probably date back into prehistory. I realise that they have been dicked about with over the centuries but they remain a system based upon the human body.
I would be extremely saddened if we were to lose this beautiful, simple and ancient system.
