But the European Commission has rejected the idea that EU rules stopped the UK from having the crown stamp on glasses as well.
A spokesperson told us: "EU law does not prevent markings from being placed on products, so long as it does not overlap or be confused with the CE mark."

Can we set a moratorium on new threads being started between 00:00 and 01:00 please? I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

The EU did not stop a crown mark on a beer glass so just another piece of brexiteers BS
My question would be, does a crown mark improve the quality and taste of the beer in the glass? If not what is the point of the crown mark?
As for bringing back a full range of imperial weights and measures to the U.K. I would suggest asking anyone under 30 what Oz, lb and cwt means let alone the connection between them.
Can anyone imagine the outcry of petrol/diesel at £8+/gall?

It’s an age thing . I have never got out of the way of converting metric to imperial. Let’s hope there’s not a movement to go back to imperial units as when it switched it cost us a fortune much like decimalisation.Think there’s a lot of sad people on these islands who can’t get over the loss of the empire and want to hark back to the good old days. There weren’t any! Does it matter what system you use as long as you get the measurements correct? Don’t get me started on beer glasses and crowns stamped on them. My interest is not the cosmetics but what it holds!Once you have defeated the idiots any job is half done. Pity there are so many idiots to defeat.

Next you’ll be wanting steam trains, Dreadnoughts, biplanes, mounted cavalry, cholera and typhus back. Why not add in pre decimalisation money and child labour?

I can lend you a pair of jackdaws that send their young tumbling down into one of my (thankfully unused) fireplaces with some regulatory. They bring an impressive amount of debris down with them each time.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

There are only three countries that use non-metric and of those, the Yanks actually do use metric they just convert it to US Customary system.
And for those that remind us that the UK uses Imperial measurements still in some circumstances, they are all based on the metric equivalent (thanks to the Weights and Measures Act) 1985.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
