WEIGHTS AND MEASURES - AND BREXIT

The government's passion for imperial nostalgia has led to ministerial backing for the promotion of traditional weights and measures; pounds and ounces rather than kilograms, feet and inches rather than metres. Adrian Goldberg hears from James Vincent, author of Beyond Measure, and Otto English, who wrote Fake History: Ten Great Lies And How They Shaped The World. Funded by subscriptions to Byline Times. Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg and Harvey White. (Originally broadcast @bylineradio via Twitter Spaces on 30/5/22)
