COMING up to the anniversary of the referendum and as the Brexit talks start in earnest, it is time for the Government to indicate how it intends to proceed with legalising imperial measures to once again allow traders to sell apples by the pound and petrol by the gallon if they so wish.
For many of us, getting rid of compulsory metrication was the main reason for voting to leave the EU.
It would be a disgrace if metric fetishists in the civil service were allowed to obstruct this noble aim, leaving us only with the negative aspects of Brexit.
