The evil EU has let us keep our precious pounds and ounces *puke*
Frankly, I think the EU shouldn't have backed down... if only to p*ss off the anti-EU-hysterics. (But I'm pro-metric anyway. Bad, bad American.) And really, is it that hard? Half a kilo is just over a pound, which is accurate enough when you're buying potatoes.
In retaliation, I shall make this LJ a metric only zone. I will even force myself to learn how to cope with distances in kilometres.
