Rejected petition Stop using Wales as a unit of measurement
Rejected on
On TV all of the time, presenters use Wales as a unit of measurement, "the area flooded is the size of Wales" or "the moon around Saturn is only the size of Wales".
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
