Same across Mainland Europe and it's gay, if you sit and drink half pints all night you also enjoy fellating men, fact.

The EU trying to standardise absolutely everything really annoys me tbh, they can't leave anything be to change or grow organically.

They wanted to ban Haggis and Bagpipes and make all bananas straight for ease of transport fucking loonballs.

I've had enough of BBC radio. Radio 1 is very, very, very, very annoying.

Because it's easier, like using English in all airports, it stops confusion.

If you ring up a company in France and give them imperial measurements, your item will come back to you 2.54 times as small

Who cares about tradition.

Metric is about 100 times easier, I would rather use the easiest one.
