Victory for the Metric Martyrs ... but what next?

Finally, it seems an ounce of common sense has been applied and the European Commission announces "Not us Guv."

However, Commissioner Verheugen has other things on his mind at the moment as reported here

But a bigger scandal looms on the horizon. After statements from the European Commissioner in which he blames British officials for prosecuting the Metric Martyrs, claiming that the Commission had not banned market traders and small shopkeepers from using non-metric measures:

" That is very much a local issue which has nothing to do with the EU. As far as we are concerned people trading in loose goods, in markets and local shops are not obliged to show even metric units."

So, in light of this statement by our masters in Brussels and those, it was claimed in the Metric Martyrs Judgment that Brussels has 'legislative supremacy,' you would think that our own 'mad officials' would see sense and call off the dogs?

Perhaps the thing that you would least expect would be that some council official would go out and seize someone's scales ... well...
