I just voted, raising the total to 157. (Apparently two more voted since Tom did.) It's now 109 for metres, 41 for feet, 6 for either and 1 who doesn't care.
I think that, for such a small respondent population, the actual figures give us a better feel than do the percentages. I guess there must be thousands of "do not cares" who simply ignored the poll altogether.
