You're not kidding! We in Britain have been trying to metricate
since before the Napoleonic wars and we STILL have not fully metricated. ...
It has usually been businesses worried (with little foundation) that
a change to metric will affect their profits that has stymied full
metrication in the UK as much as anything else.
So, here is the key question: we all believe metrication saves
businesses money in the long run, which means they should jump at it.
How do we educate business owners about this so they support rather
than fight metrication??????
