It occurs to me that the BWMA and their ilk are treading on very thin ice. After all, who seriously thinks that most of sectors of the British economy holding out to use Imperial measures would continue to do so for very long if the United States embarked on an Australian-like program (not that we will) to conver to metric? Makes mince-meat of their notions behind retaining traditional units and the "freedom to measure" argument.
