I was posing the question, we have a mish mash now anyway when you look around at things, pipe threads are BSP, Aluminium extrusions are Imperial along with gas fittings. India is still using Imperial measurements. Not sure about OZ.

I am happy to have a national vote in regards this, it will not change now. The US uses it too in most veins of life.

Just as an aside you do know democracy means the rule of the elite?

Elite or majority ?

Elite, the word democracy originates from the greek word democratia (sp). Which means the rule of the elite, I found that quite interesting when I stumbled across it.

Just been on the "dark side" reading the Brexit thread. The remoaners are having a whale of a time telling each other we're doomed and not a response from the Brexiteers. When do you think the penny will drop that we're all here?;)

The echo chamber effect in action, with every passing week they seem to be getting more bitter and twisted.

"Mind you when people get their opinions from a piece of toilet paper like this it's hardly surprising.

I've really had it with Leave voters. You've screwed the country for generations and now you're going to get what you asked for. Enjoy."

That from a moderator, no wonder we all got banned.

I have seen that, jeez that post you responded to is off the ceiling(and it is not the only one) the anger displayed is palpable.
That clique are winding themselves up into a frenzy with no body to bring them back down to earth.

Shit, Brexit or S8, S8 or Brexit?

Lots of comment this morning about that letter and the reaction across europe. The backsliding Remainers are in a state of anguish rending their clothes and gnashing their teeth. It's all May this / May that, Tories this / Tories that, thick northerners this / thick northerners that. I've even noticed a 'parallel poster' curlishly and reprehensibly moving on to criticising Theresa May's appearance! Thats not at all good is it? Just displays a complete lack of class.

Moving on..... The only people that don't appear to be getting criticised are the European mandarins and politicians. They are the ones who are to blame and deserve our contempt and NOT the UK government. Lets go back 12/18 months and they screwed up big time didn't they? Merkel criminally opened the gates of Europe to all manner of unskilled ne'er do wells and assorted vagrants which went down like a lead balloon around these parts didn't it? Whilst the EU mandarins faced with a pleading David Cameron effectively kicked sand in his face. In their smug but fatally misguided view that we would never vote OUT they didn't realise that they wear also kicking sand into the face of the British people! End result is that the nations quislings have turned inward and are now targeting the wrong people. The europeans had a chance to listen to Cameron which they didn't and since then they've surely had enough time to issue a 'lets not be hasty, come back and we'll have another look at your proposals.' message to Theresa May which to the best of my knowledge they haven't.
I'd imagine the corridors of power in Europe are currently being torn apart in a confrontation between their politicians and their business leaders. Look at the facts and we purchase more from Europe than we sell to them so any restrictions of Trade will hit them hard. The business men well know this but the Politicians whose income isn't affected couldn't care less. The issue with them now is simply one of repairing false and damaged pride.

Funnily enough, B&Wh, I never copped a ban in the years since 1996, but it go heavier and heavier as time went on, to such an extent that I rarely posted. I used to want to post opinions on the Rovers, but as soon as I did, i'd be concerned about people saying 'you live on the other side of the world, so your opinions count for nought"

The big issue is YES to S8 but what about the battery YES or NO. My household is having a referendum. The Thai wife, our 12 year old son and me but we'll not give the wife a vote or a bloody new phone and I'll be chairman and extra casting vote if required. Democracy works.

If you nail your colours to the mast then your opinion is just as valid as anyone's IMO
