As part of its Brexit opportunities operation, the UK government is considering raising the prominence of imperial measures over metric. In June, it put out a public consultation rather quietly – I only realised it was there yesterday and the deadline is tomorrow (26th August)!
Here’s the link:

Basically, they’re giving two options for UL traders: imperial only, or imperial with metric less prominent. No option for metric/ SI units only. Rather a loaded consultation, but worth completing if you have time and inclination, otherwise we’ll all be going back to acres, ounces and furlongs.
