[USMA:28923] Re: metric marters

[Big Chimp]

I did not post the original notice.  That came from Stephen Davis.  From the tone of the article, I'd suspect it came from the BWMA or maybe the UKIP.   That is why I requested Stephen to respond with an official press release.  I did a Google search and could find nothing.   As for Civil War, that is what the BWMA wants you to think.  They think real people in the streets care.  But from the British who post here, I'd suspect a majority of the scales are metric only and most people there are use to it.  Therefore they would not be up in arms.  Those who are resisting and have not changed their scales may now be a bit scared, as they may feel the authories breathing down their necks.    We must now wait and see if this ruling has any meat behind it.   Euric  ----- Original Message ----- From: john mercer To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Wednesday, 2004-02-25 18:29 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.
