@Eccles I think it ended up in the hands of a French company manufacturing passports in Poland, due to EU competitive rendering rules. The government could have easily waited till after leaving to put it out to tender and deliberately pick the UK company. Don’t think blue passports is a buggy for anyone

*biggy

i don't see an issue with getting them printing anywhere

from what i read yesterday there's a portion of them being created in the uk

supporting something like 70 new jobs

@Hopix I don’t either but if the government cared about where they were made, they could have waited to ensure they were British made. It’s only the remoaners that see blue passports existing as a problem. And them being made in the EU as funny

@Gaylien r/badunitedkingdom is the place to be

good sub that

and pewdiepies sub is good

well that's even stupider, the blue passports being printed in poland by a french company being becuase of eu rules

Don’t think blue passports is a buggy for anyone << it's important to me... just like sacking off Metric is important

do you mean imperial

No

imperial is the one with feet

Exactly... and legs. Metric was designed by scientists and is not that helpful for the man on the streets

wtf

no it is cos its incremental

celcius is metric

so is calories

I've switched to using Fahrenheit these days, as the press use it, so we all know what we're talking about when we say it's over 100

and the Americans use it, so it makes online discourse easier

that's backwards thinking

you only like imperial cos its how youve been taught

And everybody talks about people being 6 foot, or driving 30 miles. And we still use miles per gallon to talk about the efficiency of our cars

Yeah, I don't like metric and I'll never use it. Now we're out of the EU, we can start afgitating about it without it being "impossible"

alright old man

go back to shouting at clouds

Well, it was us who stopped us losing the pint of beer in the 00's

The EU only gave up their fight about that in 2008

And older people went out at night and changed signs which local councils had changed to metres back to yards in the dead of the night in the 90s

this isn't very convincing

i do a lot of woodwork and i measure everything in mm cos its mroe accurate than fractions of an inch

i keep having to convert for boomers who cant cut straight or at size

Maybe I'm a drinker and you're not, or something. Personally, I don't even consider modern pints to be proper pints. they're metric pints until we put the crown symbol back on the glass, rather than 'CE'

teh cut of a saw is measured in mm like 3 or 4, not 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch

If you get your stock from America, you can probably get them non-metric

are you talking pints or wood

cos i get both locally
