Dear Jim,
I take your point on the word 'selfish -- I should have used the word 'self-centred'.
What I was trying to get at was the idea that some folk would have all old pre-metric units legally available because, 'I don't want to change my mind'.

I see that sort of thinking in the same way as telling someone who rides a
horse that he's self-centred because he won't drive a car!
