Perhaps when/if Brexit actually happens the people who want a return to the good old days will campaign for the reintroduction of the Imperial system of weights and measures. It'll mean everyone under 30 learning their 12, 14 and 16 times tables before they go shopping but surely that would be a small price (in £-s-d) to pay for a return to the old British system ?
However, before that suggestion gets taken up by the polical parties, it might be useful to ask when the metric system was first taught in Kildwick School and did this have anything to do with those pesky, interfering bureaucrats in the EU ? The answers to these question are: earlier than you think, and of course not.
Here is the headmaster's entry in the school log.
That's September 4th 1891 !
