I find the inability of people to move to metric an embarrasment to the UK. If we made the move (actually did it) then people would have to learn "new" measures and a few months of pain would be long term gain for all. (butmaybe not pricing ticket sign writers;-) we're openly encouraging a dual system (32" tv / 12" vinyl / 1 pint of milk / 1lb of sausages... blah blah blah) and it is ridiculous. I would also like distances marked in kilometers, not out of some kind of pro-europe move, just so we actually understand distances and measures better. madness. madness. absolute madness.:)
