lpv:spoken text	"I will be voting in favour of this report because at last it allows Member States, and in particular the United Kingdom, to carry on using imperial measurements. Personally I prefer the metric system, but there are some areas where the very nature of the work being undertaken necessitates using imperial measurements. I do not refer to the selling of vegetables, but to work like the renovation of historic and heritage modes of transport, and in particular heritage railways. I would point out that in the UK not everybody sticks to imperial measurements. The great game of rugby league went metric years ago."@en1
