May I suggest that you peruse the following stories from today's paper? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1170267/My-husband-going-kill-terrified-mother-told-police-hours-murdered-children.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1170358/Apprentice-Watch-Big-Bad-Ben-spared-need-villain.html Or perhaps look at the default settings for their weather forecast? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/weather/index.html Can I suggest that you have perhaps been fooled by one of Stephen's typical exaggerations? It's quite easy to find one "imperial-only" article then claim it is representative of the whole paper (or even of the entire UK press!) --- On Thu, 16/4/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [USMA:44691] Nothing but Imperial To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, 16 April, 2009, 2:20 AM Ran across this article today online in The Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1170348/The-50-year-old-mother-spent-10-000-surgery-look-like-daughter.html While this article offers us more than one lesson, it certainly illustrates Stephen's point about the absence of SI in today's Britain in various quarters.
