Crowns and Ounces: PM to announce return of Imperial measurements
- The exclusive use of Imperial measurements is to be decriminalised after the EU criminalised it in the 1970s in favour of Metric
- Crowns to symbolise a standard Imperial Pint is to make a comeback on British beer glasses

This is great news in that a historical wrong is being righted.
Britons were perfectly happy using a measurement system they had used for centuries, until European politicians decided to make it a crime - yes, an actual crime - to sell apples, juice and beer using Imperial measurements. In the 1990s there were the famous cases of the 'Metric martyrs' who were a group of normal market traders who got taken to court by the EU for daring to use a measurement system their customers actually liked, as opposed to the one they used in Brussels, Berlina and Paris.
