Metric vs. other measurement systems - chart

[MeJasonT]

There are some die hards in the UK who will not relinquish the good old imperial measurements, a pint of milk, a pint of beer, spirits measured in 1/8 gill and a distance of miles at of speed at mph. But be warned don’t try selling a pound of bananas in Newcastle/Sunderland the local authorities will hound you to death

I’m not a conspiracy theorist - but he suddenly died ? - The lengths countries leaders will go to. You would think we lived in Russia, just saying - no racial implication intended.

What are you guys in the wild west going to do when kids are banned from having cap guns and computer games because they are linked to slavery and racial hatred. They are either shooting pimps and hookers, Germans, zombies, Red Indians and cow boys or calories in the case of candy crush. What is this world coming to? A mega don.

For F's sake stop this pointless debate keep the inch, stand up like a man and don’t let this Europhile cack eat America as well.
you know what happened in the 60s when a space craft crashed due to a mix up in measurements, everyone was fine using both until someone tried to convert everyone - Strange that very shortly after they put a man on the moon - again just saying (light the blue touch paper).

Just remember that the collection of European nations is the Euronation - I’m thinking they are taking the urine.

We have always been different from each other, if you used a measurement system to build house in the US compared to Africa the measurements would be miles apart literally. Spelt differently for a start - we have managed for millennia to build things in different scale and sell them to each other, what is this ambition of some in the US to go metric (Europhiles). A measurement that is no longer socially acceptable is the use of chains, don’t start that again. Or Bushels, **** the Me2 movement will think you are talking of under their dresses.

These are strange times my friends.
