No reason to suppose either of those will occur.

It's all good, we'll be able to buy a pint of wine soon.

I'm sure the world's wine producers will be racing to change their production lines to pint sized bottles.

Barmy Mogg is moaning about it.

However:

"The decision to drop the idea, which had been hailed as a potential “Brexit freedom”, came after it turned out that only a tiny fraction of British businesses and consumers wanted to see a bigger role for imperial units.

The government revealed on Wednesday that out of 100,000 people who responded to a consultation on boosting Britain’s “long and proud history of using imperial measures”, only 1.3 per cent were in favour of increasing their use for buying or selling products."

1.3% = Elderly Brexers. It would be typical of them to vote in something that only those that are younger, are able to endure the repercussions. The miserable old duffers lost this time.

Brexit - utter pile of shít.
