Sometimes I feel sorry for the bullshit civil servants have to endure.
Except the DWP of course.

I worked for the DWP for about ten years.
Though I didn't work with working-age benefit cases. I can honestly say that it was the worst job I've ever had, so bad that it was the only job I ever left by choice, but still I ask that you direct your ire to the culture of outsourcing rather than the underpaid people who actually work for the DWP. For most of the people I worked with it was just a job, but many genuinely worked there to do good.

I have a Grolsch pint glass here, with a crown mark.

Seconded, they date from the late nineties.
I have one of the first batch, marked PINT rather than the crown mark.

You could have a pint glass with a crown mark on it from any year, its never been an issue to have them

You could have sold by the pound if you wanted to too.
That's the point.

Don't get me started
I looked this up yesterday expecting to see a choice of options that included a switch to metric only, but the options are:
1) Imperial
2) Imperial with metric equivalent alongside
Not even "Metric with imperial alongside". I'm desperate to fill the form out to help stop this madness but I'm not sure I can bring myself to select an option that implies I want to keep imperial measures.

It's almost as if they are trying to manipulate the result.

Half metric and half imperial. One legs shorter then the other .
All I know is how big things look like at the deli and that's enough for my face hole. I don't understand going backwards .
