I wonder if a successful TTIP agreement would be the catalyst for this? It's inexplicable that the EU/ EEA would allow for non-metric goods to freely flow into the market.
- happyscrappy 12y agoShould it also be illegal for the UK to teach Imperial units? I find the European attitude that government should ban everything they don't like perplexing.
- lmm 12y ago> Should it also be illegal for the UK to teach Imperial units? Yes. It's a waste of children's time (and there is a massive market failure in education, so laws are the only way to make changes).
- happyscrappy 12y agoThe only thing the EU would accomplish by making it illegal to teach Imperial in the UK is guaranteeing they leave the EU.
- mistakoala 12y agoNo, it shouldn't. As much as I also dislike the Continental love of the ban hammer, I'm not sure what it has to with this.
- hoggle 12y agoI'm all for going fully metric but a failed TTIP agreement would actually be something worth losing some space probes over.
- smackfu 12y agoWhat's a non-metric good? Isn't it the labelling that makes something metric or not?
- mistakoala 12y agoIs labelling not a good?
