The metric system is in the UK to stay and has been taught in our schools for decades.

If the UK wants to use pints for milk and beer, pounds for sugar and flour, miles per hour on road signs, who the hell is entitled to have a problem with that?

Do we want every country to be exactly the same as every other one just for the convenience of global commerce.

I am referring to the comment that the imperial system is good for humans. I am human and it's not good for me.

My point is, what ever system you use is good for you because you learnt it.

I have not said one thing about England and it's choice to revert systems. I don't care about that.
