Great. Your country is Ok! We have the same here. We use 'ton/hectare' for 
wheat, maize, etc where those yankees uses 'bushels/acre'. Mind you, bushel is 
volume, not weight...

We did care when we installed STP. We intentionally 'lost' two hours and 
restarted all our toys including the STP. I specifically wrote Assembler, COBOL 
and REXX programs to verify our conversion by using all the different macros to 
extract times in various formats and locality.
