The goal of the UKMA is best explianed within the text of their document "A very British mess" (which inadvertantly explains how well having 2 measurement systems works!!)

I see:

UKMA = Irradicate imperial, destroy it. Allow people to say its words but remove it from view.
USMA = Introduce metric wherever possible, show to people how good it is.


I am in the weird position of being a BWMA member but broadly agreeing with the aims of USMA.
How juxtaposed is that!


:-D
