3b. Are you more likely to shop from businesses that sell in imperial units?
Yes
No
Not sureNo; I would actively avoid them on the basis that the proprietors were fucking idiots.
I would make a single exception for pubs; I don’t care if they serve me 568ml of beer when I ask for a pint.

I’m fuming after filling that in, what a shitshow -
I hate that I wasted about 20 mins of my life filling that in. Nice opportunity to vent at the stupidity of things like ounces being completely unrelated to fluid ounces (the UK fluid ounces, not the US fluid ounces of course) and the seemingly arbitrary multiples involved in going between gallons (not the US ones, again), pints, cups, (fluid) ounces. Or pounds, stone, (non-fluid) ounces for that matter.
Still, brexit "opportunities"!
What a fucking waste of time any money.

This isn't a question but just noticed a government consultation on units and measures closes tomorrow: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/choice-on-units-of-measurement-markings-and-sales
Example question:
(Is it just me or is there a third option missing there?!) It's quite a short form if anyone fancies it.
