By 1995 most other things had been metric for 25 years!

It's called joining the modern world.

That is just not true! I was at school until 1990 when I left 6th form and I was taught Imperial primarily with metric as an afterthought.

Thank God we left the EU and the pompous gits that run it. Time for Swexit

It could be argued that the Conservatives screwed Sweden up by having two terms in power during the 00s and 10s.

They did

I'll pick which suits me and my family best. It's hard to know, many things could change like double taxation rules, pensions, capital gains.. it's all unchartered waters. I'd imagine there will be pros and cons either way.

But whilst Brexiteers think they won, they are in the main British and stuck in Britain. I'm not. Call me a lover if it makes you feel better, but in some senses I can't lose, as I could just as easily move back to the UK if it magically thrived in 5 years time. ... (hide full quote)

Aren't all Brexiteers British? Nobody else could vote without being a British citizen.

I don't see remainers as losers, many are moaners and wanted to prevent democracy but that isn't all of them.

TBH for the first time since I moved here I can imagine a future where I do move back to the UK especially if they get a handle on law and order.

Nuking the Midlands would be a plus too.

One of the few times I am agreeing with you and you decide to snipe at me. That sums you lot up which is why Brits feel uneasy being in a regiment with a Brummie. You can't trust them in battle. Shoot you in the back they would and shout their are patriots. ... (hide full quote)

The EU is finished in ten years anyway and we should get rid of dual citizenships as well, how can you be a citizen of two countries you can only live in one place

You tell that to the Americans.

Ohm by the way, how do Swedes measure TV sizes? And Jeans? There are other things too so if metric is so modern why is my TV a 55 INCH? ;-)

I don't need to. The longer you stay the more people see you for the lying, snidey, odious shitbag you really are. You might offer me out yet again! All talk no trousers.

Stay as long as you like it makes me laugh at how pathetic you are.
