Seabag Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I've got wind of a 'renaming not remaining' department being set up by No.10The brief is to rename everyday items and foods we enjoy, with a new 'non-EU' title. The idea is that there will come a time (much like decimalisation) where 'we' will soon forget the old, and the younger generations will adopt the New British version of a much loved item.Sainsbury's have been running a trial already, I saw it last week. Potatoes Gratin advertised on the shelf label, showed "Potato and Cheese Bake" on the new packaging. Terminally dull and horribly off putting.The facts and details are being kept secret thus far, but I'm going to hazard a guess and imagine some of my own. Feel free to add to the list.Penne pasta bolognese, is to become 'Carbohydrate Tubes with minced beef & tomatoes'Coq au Vin moves to 'Cock in Wine' And I hear Parliament are to lobby France to return 'Le Weekend' back to us, in exchange for 'cul-de-sac'In all it's fairly depressing and makes me despise Teressa 'Vinegar Tits' May even more.C'Est la vie!

LauraHW Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hopefully this will mean an end to the ridiculous teaching of the metric system in schools. Who cares if it makes far more sense and that most of the world uses it. We managed an empire and single handedly won two world wars with the imperial system.

I wrote to the BBC praising Planet Earth 2. Attenborough knew what he was doing by giving very cold temperatures in degrees Farenheit. It may not make any sense but it is a good British unit, and the American's love it too.And what's all this business about using base ten. What's wrong with good old fashioned 12, or 16.
