Shop starts selling meat in pounds and ounces after Britain voted to leave the EU, by Amanda Devlin.

Gratton’s Butchers is giving customers the choice to buy meaty goods in either imperial or metric quantities following yesterday’s historic referendum result.

A law enforced by the EU in 1995 meant that all measuring devices used in trade or retail should display measurements in metric quantities.

But Darren Gratton said that a lot of his customers who voted Brexit wanted their meat sold in the older imperial method of pounds and ounces. “All the customers wanted it back in pounds.”
