"Malcolm Bacchus" wrote in message .uk... For a lot of us, particularly in countries that weren't conquered by Napoleon, gallons, feet and psi make a lot more intuitive sense than litres, metres (not meters, please - you read those) and pascals. And given that those were the units used for a lot of the matters being discussed here, it makes even more sense to keep them that way. Go down the road of conversion and somebody soon will be asking what the cost of Apollo was in Euros! Currency is different altogether. It's truly amazing here how quick the changeover to decimal currency was, and yet how slow the metrication process has been. Yet the benefits are exactly the same. |
