Correct. When we first joined the EU, some people refused to display their prices in a different way from before and were eventually prosecuted for it. The law expects traders to use metric measurements, but permits imperial to be used alongside.

With Boris's new proposed measure, traders will be allowed to convert back to imperial, but given the fact you mention, that more recent generations have been taught only metric measurements, they will need to display both now as well if they don't want to confuse half the population.

Result: no change.

Nice one, Boris. Let's get back to levelling up, sorting out the economy and abolishing or changing the EU laws we still have that legitimately restrict trade. That's what will get you re-elected.
