Watching the live stream from the BBC (on http://www.bbcnews.com) about the election results and there were two moments showing the typical British muddle:
BBC cut away for a few minutes to give a weather report. The only numbers they gave were the temperatures around the country and they were in Celsius (but they only said degrees, which is even better since it simply assumes metric). Then they go back to the election results and they talk about one district (not the right term for Britain) being located "only a few miles" away from a neighboring district. So, there you go ... the usual mixed bag. Either way the final result turns out, the hung Parliament will only make it more difficult for the UK to finish metrication once and for all, I'm sorry to conclude. Ezra
