Good thinking, BUT seas have shrunk and MAN has entered spage age -
exploring lunar surface and solar system. If regaining 'lost empire' and
rule of British fleet be the aim, there is a need to RE-THINK, where and how
the 'cracks came in'.
The black hole, I observed was: *seperation between Time, Length and
arcAngle* where fathoms lost to 'metre & hence Le Systeme International
d'Unites'.
No offences, however.

But, according to the BWMA it was joining the EU that made metric usage
compulsory. Making it legal for use but having it become used are too
different things. It took the legislation in the 1960s (before the UK
entered the EU) to make it compulsory. The BWMA feels that if you remove
the compulsion metric will fade away and everything will become imperial
again. Britain will regain its lost empire, the British fleet will rule
the seas, the pound will replace the euro as the world's second major
currency (the pound isn't even #3, the Yen is), the Queen will rule the
world, and everyone will live happily ever after.

Hello Dan and everybody. I did some searching to find out when the
metric system was made legal in the UK for all perposes. It was in 1896. Go
to UK metric assoc and look at metric time line. It was made legal but not
compulsory. So the metric system has been legal in the UK for all purposes
long before the EU ever existed.
