Episode details
Comments

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.
