      Maybe we’d finally do a full metric switch instead of this bullshit 80% effort

        It’s a great deal. Go on the Euro, be a normal member and have the huge death dearth of benefits from the single market that the UK benefitted from for generations. It’s a huge win for the UK if the EU would be that generous.

            I tried for dearth, but ended up with death. Deluge would have also been a great choice of words.

              Breadth is what you were looking for. Dearth’s root is dear, meaning precious and scarce. Breadth is width, so a great breadth contains a variety of things.

              Dearth actually isn’t the right word either, lol. That’s a very small selection or lack of something.

              I think we knew what you meant, though. Cheers.
