'Pression' we usually ask for small or large! Have occasionally idled away the time wondering what the measure was but I can't remember the answer. Small is third of a litre maybe.

'I arst you civil enough, didn't I?' said the old man, straightening his shoulders pugnaciously. 'You telling me you ain't got a pint mug in the 'ole bleeding boozer?'
'And what in hell's name is a pint?' said the barman, leaning forward with the tips of his fingers on the counter.
'Ark at 'im! Calls 'isself a barman and don't know what a pint is! Why, a pint's the 'alf of a quart, and there's four quarts to the gallon. 'Ave to teach you the A, B, C next.'
'Never heard of 'em,' said the barman shortly. 'Litre and half litre -- that's all we serve. There's the glasses on the shelf in front of you.

Cross-party group of MPs hope to force a vote on UK staying in EEA

But it is legally uncertain whether the UK is able to leave the EEA without the permission of parliament, after the high court ruled this year that it was too soon to make a judgment. As recently as March, David Davis, the Brexit secretary, said it was likely that parliament would have to have a say on any changes to the European Economic Area Act 1993, but since the election, there may now be no majority for exiting the EEA.

The official government position is that the UK will leave the EEA automatically when it leaves the EU, but a Whitehall source told the Guardian that view is not shared by all the government’s lawyers or ministers.

Brexit: Job advert reveals UK trade dispute plans

The government has revealed through a job advert how it plans to tackle unfair trade after Brexit.

A new body called the UK Trade Remedies Organisation will be set up to tackle allegations of unfair competition and investigate complaints.

The online advert for a digital design lead said the organisation needs to be up and running by October 2018 - ahead of the UK's exit in March 2019.

The UK can then enforce its own trade rules - a job currently done by the EU.

"This is a challenging deadline and the Trade Remedies Implementation Team is being formed to ensure this is effectively delivered on time," read the advert.

However, prospective candidates have been warned they will be working in a "changing and uncertain environment", with changes to policy possible as "thinking develops", as legislation moves through parliament, and because of the on-going negotiation with the EU. (BBC News website)

You what

Charlie Elphicke, MP for Dover.... “It would be wrong for the Labour party to seek to undermine the referendum decision or seek to kick it into the long grass,” said Elphicke.

A senior Tory source...claiming everyone knew the “four pillars” of the single market, including free movement were indivisible.
“Labour don’t know what they are doing. They’ve got a GCSE-level understanding of Brexit and that is totally inconsistent and letting down Labour members and the country as a whole.”

A local authority has admitted its air pollution data was deliberately manipulated for three years to make it look cleaner. Cheshire East council apologised after serious errors were made in air quality readings from 2012 to 2014. It is reviewing planning applications amid fears falsified data may have affected decisions in at least five towns. It said it would reveal the full list of sites affected this week.

tick-tock Tory losers

Labour has been accused of attempting to kick Brexit into the “long grass” after Keir Starmer revealed that he planned to pile pressure on the government to keep Britain inside the single market during a transitional period.....
...The Conservatives are hoping to hit back at Labour by exploiting potential differences at the top of the party after the shadow trade secretary, Barry Gardiner, wrote in the Guardian that Brexit meant leaving the single market and customs union.

As a transitional phase, a customs union agreement might be thought to have some merit. However, as an end point it is deeply unattractive.
