I don’t know why we bother with Europe, the whole thing is flawed, we
would be much better off with the dollar and become the 51st state and
we could go back to Imperial measurements far better than all this
foreign muck that no one wants.

But British Imperial measurements aren't always the same as the US
Imperial measurements,the gallon for example.
