Being a proud Brit, I have to hang my head in shame and agree with Wizard of Os. The thing that really annoys me is that the "Imperialists" want to buy their French apples by the pound and drink their German lager by the pint. Give me a kilo of Worcester Pearmains and a litre of Old Peculier any day!

It may be really dumb to stop people from using metric where they want to, but that does not excuse Wizard's stereotyping and verbal assault on the British.
I suppose Wizard will claim that there are no stupid laws or politicians in his country, right?

P.S. Sadly, I haven't been able to enjoy Old Peculier since I left New England many years ago. Can't get it Utah. However, Gunthros, you'll have to educate me as to what Worcester Pearmains are.
