"... the fact that shelf edge imperial still exists and is printed in most stores - strangely missed out down there!!"
I shop at a Morrison's supermarket almost every day and not once have I noticed any "shelf edge imperial". Every shelf (and just about every item) has metric measurements ONLY on them. Mr Humphrey's knows this full well. Don't hold your breath waiting for evidence to the contrary from him, though. He's quite fond of making these claims, but, strangely enough, never presents any sort of proof whatsoever. He's a troll anyway, and best ignored really! ----- Original Message ----- From: Kilopascal To: Naughtin Pat ; U.S. Metric Association Sent: Friday, May 27, 2011 1:50 AM Subject: Fw: [USMA:50496] Re: Coffee mug Pat, Stephen Humphreys said: "... the fact that shelf edge imperial still exists and is printed in most stores - strangely missed out down there!!" Well, not a fact at all, but wishful thinking and knowing you might not wish to verify his hope would be that you have no alternative but to believe him. Well, don't! Here are a few links to some UK "shelf edge talkers". I'm sure you can judge for yourself just how much imperial is marked. Let the facts speak for themselves: http://www.beechman.co.uk/star/star_tsp800_shelf_edge_tickets.jpg http://www.findtheneedle.co.uk/images/products/2835914.jpg http://www.beechman.co.uk/labels/shelf_edge_labels.jpg http://www.tills4change.co.uk/images/pictures/icr/tms_shelfedge.gif http://www.encompos.com/media//ShelfLabel.jpg Labels from Tesco - The Imperial Store". Just look at all the imperial measures!!!!! http://www.andrewbrooks.co.uk/Tesco%20DQ.JPG http://www.pastymuncher.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/tesco-penny-off.jpg http://sodiumlightsthehorizon.co.uk/cms/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMAG0053.jpg You may wish to ask Stephen yourself if he can provide some proof of his claim. Odds are he won't because he can't. Just to remind you Pat that Stephen diverted over to this topic to distract you away from the painful truth that his pub pint is served in a 570 mL glass and not 20 ounce as he would like you and everyone else to believe. These same 570 mL glasses are available in Australia. Get some and examine them for yourself.
