We are in a mess with metric v imperial in Britain. We weigh ourselves in stones pounds and ounces, but the hospitals are only now starting to use kilos. our hen meal comes in 25 kilo bags or roughly 56 lbs. our tonne is 1000 kilos and not 2240 lbs. we fill our fuel in litres but measure distance in miles and our cars do xx miles per gallon. Our clothes are still in inches, but the food we eat is weighed in kilos and the milk is in litres. Our road speed limits are in MPH until we come to the Irish border then it is KPH!. Our car tyres are imperial and we put in xx lbs of air to keep them hard. The tractor tyre width has went metric,but the rim diameters are still in inches. Some factories work a metric week.....10 days on and 5 off, but the human body finds this tough.... We farmers are hard to adapt away from our acres that was until the EEC introduced a subsidy measured in hectares owned...Now every farmer knows how many hectares he owns!!! Building materials are a funny one, blocks and bricks are metric since 1972, cement is in kilos, timber is cut in metric measurement but sheeting is still 8x4.Builders have learned not to try and convert. they just use both sides of the tape measure. I must say that metric is best and my children will not have any adapting to do.....they are nearly totally metric. Sam
