It's stupid but also a bit of a gimmick since it's only allowing stores to sell in imperial if they want to do so. Maybe they'll have both. I can't see us moving to imperial for the things which have been metric for so long, too many people have grown up with metric now and it's more intuitive than imperial unless you grew up with the latter.

To be honest I assume it was legal anyway since buying pints in pubs and so on.
