bozo can get stuffed, things are just right the way they are. remember when they changed to the metric system a ha'penney chew was a new half pence so you only got one instead of two (with conversion). it was the same with bread and other daily goods, they stayed the same price except you only got 100 pennies. biggest rip off the UK has ever seen.
