Some reversions from metric to imperial noted. If
you see some of this, contact someone who can reverse this sad
situation
From the BWMA on-line board:
Kilometre signs going back into miles. Metre signs going back into yards. Knight Rutley no longer mentioning square metres in their ads, now only referring to square feet. Safeway organic milk back in pints. Sweet manufacturers coming up with 'Halfpounder' bags. Cider companies making 'One Pint' cans again. Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer announce their babies' weights in pound and ounces with no kilos in brackets afterwards. Recent survey shows 98% of Brits know their height in feet and inches but only 29% in metric. Lord Howe and UKMA both say metrication is 'off course' and are pretty steamed up about it into the bargain. [All the many other examples snipped to save time scrolling down] |
