My fave wasn’t the bendy bananas, or the harmonization of condom girths (which took years cuz the Italians insisted their men needed an extra mm).
Nope, I’ll vote for imposing the display of metric weights in groceries in the UK. As if they needed to protect muppet tourists who couldn’t deal with pounds and ounces while cooking up paella during their holidays. Keeping in mind that many countries, France for example, have a culinary tradition that leans heavily toward the colloquial use of pounds in retail: “ Donnez-moi une livre de foie gras, SVP”, “Mag ik een pond verse worst”.
Brexit is..., well..., let’s be polite and say nothing if one has nothing nice to say. PM BoJo, FTW!!! But asinine Brussels rule-making, contravening the subsidiarity principle sure helped getting y’all there.
