[USMA:28921] Re: metric marters

Mr Herron likes to, shall we say, likes to overplay his hand just a little tad....in the same way as you could say that the group Motorhead are a tiny bit loud!!   There's no great antipathy towards metrication in the UK despite what Mr Herron says....in fact, I doubt there's many people actually care less about it!  ----- Original Message ----- From: john mercer To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 11:29 PM Subject: [USMA:28920] metric marters I just read the posting that big chimp posted. Was the message from the metric marters?  Is there as much resistance to metric in the U K as the posting implied. When you read the posting it sounds like the U K is on the brink of civil war.  If there is so much resistance how come it never  makes the news over here.  i found the posting confusing.
