I don't like it either but fortunately our government realised that getting rid of pints in particular could be suicide! On the other hand, using millimetres certainly beats fractions of an inch when measuring timber, glass, paper sizes, etc. Funnily enough all timber in UK is only available in multiples of 300mm - which just happens to be about 1 foot!
I was not suggesting that it should be used all the time, merely that it was an alternative to investigate in this particular case.
