how much is in a mega pint? does anyone know?
No one has been taught Imperial measures at school since even when I was there in the very late 70's and early 80's. 40 years ago. What a ridiculous suggestion. Ask anyone under 30 how many feet in a yard or yards in a mile and you'll likely get blank stares.
Time is broken anyway, or at least our measuring of it is, we need a new system which has the same number of days every year instead of throwing in an extra day once every 4 years
Why do you need to know how many feet there are in a yard or yards in a mile though?
Most of our road signs are in MPH is there any reason to need to know that in yards per hour?
Its not panic or outrage it is laughter you hear. I love how brexiters think there is outrage. Its not outrage lol
This ******* unaccountable ******** of a corrupt government is just doing what it wants. The people don’t matter anymore there is no accountability.
They need dragging out of number ten what other way is there? It’s clear there are no repercussions anymore for any action they take. The longer this goes on the more they continue to shoot our own limbs off with utttrlu asinine **** like this no one asked for.

I don't like to disagree here (because I don't!), but those 3 blue signs with the diagonal lines on them near the exit of a motorway are 100 yard markers.
No it wouldn'tThat would require changing either the rotation of the Earth or the orbit of the Earth.
No it wouldn't
I didn't realise your latest incarnate was pretending to be a girl?Guys will argue about anything till blue in the face huh
went for a strapadictome didn't I blud....oh that's the other way around but anyways.I didn't realise your latest incarnate was pretending to be a girl?
To be fair you don't need to do any conversion between miles and yards for that though, just need to know what 100 yards is.
But yeah, we use some of these measurements anyway, I doubt people are going to force them into areas where they make little sense. Someone else mentioned ounces in coke in McDonalds, technically they do do that in the USA however just like over here people tend to simply ask for a small, medium or large.
I'm sure plenty of car enthusiasts will carry on using imperial as will dating apps, some cooking books etc.. we already combine both quite easily.
The document he posted actually proves my point - alcohol sold in cans, bottles boxes or similar can only be marked up in ml. I did specifically say retailers.Why do people constantly spout lies about the EU
Containers or measuring devices can say whatever they want on them. Alcohol in bottles or cans can only be sold by ml.You lie.
I'm drinking out of a strongbow 'pint' glass right now, and the only markings on it are strongbow branding.
A day is 24 hours, a rotation of the Earth is only 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds, Earth revolves around the sun 365 days, 5 hours, 59 minutes and 16 seconds, so even with a leap year it's still not totally accurate, we should strive for a more accurate measurement of time that syncs without any rounding errors for days & years if days are complete rotation and years are complete orbits(EDIT: It's just struck me that your post could have been another Python reference. If so, well played.)
Yes it would.
A day is a rotation of Earth.
A year is an orbit of Earth around the sun(*).
A year takes 365.24 days (to 2 decimal places).
Those things are determined by the rotation of the Earth and the orbit of the Earth. Making a year a whole number of days would require changing either or both of those things.
You could make up some arbitrary units and call them "day" and "year", but they wouldn't correspond with either the day/night cycle or the annual seasonal cycle. They wouldn't actually be days and years.
* Actually an orbit around the Earth-sun barycentre, but I'm simplifying a bit.
