Times of London: “In 2001 a Sunderland greengrocer arguably did more than any politician to set Britain on the path towards Brexit when he was convicted for breaching EU rules banning the sale of fruit and vegetables in pounds and ounces. Now, 20 years on, Boris Johnson is to make good on a pledge to vindicate the cause of the ‘metric martyr’ by announcing the return of imperial weights and measures. Under plans unveiled by ministers today it will once again become legal for market stalls, shops and supermarkets to sell their goods using only Britain’s traditional weighing system.”
