On 2004 Jun 30, MightyChimp sent us this copy he got from somewhere:
"The Day Today, broadcast May 25th 2004
Metric Paramilitaries Ready to end Ceasefire.
=============================================
UKMA (United Kingdom Metrication Assocation), the political wing of the paramilitary
group METNOW (Metric Enforcement through Nazi Orientated Work) has justified the
recent bombing of a shop in Bristol for selling rulers with inches on them."
etc. etc. etc
This was so far off the wall that it is hard to be sure if this is an insane parody of metric advocates produced by Olde English fanatics. Could it even be that it is be a parody of a parody, produced by metric promoters who are mocking those insane tirades of the Olde English fanatics.
It would be helpful to know who wrote this and who put it on the web.
