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.

Been outrage and mocking on Twitter over this, but most of us even younger use Imperial everyday without even realising.

Miles, yards, inches, square foot, pints, tonnes, gallons, ounces. I understand why Metric is used for science, but for real life Imperial is far superior.
