[QUOTE="NIrelandGillian, post: 74734841, member: 297864"] It has, that's right, although I don't know which system they use in everyday conversation. When they went metric in the South - at the same time as the UK, I was sharing a flat in Dublin with a friend with the landlady on the premises and she was very suspicious of the new system - thought we were paying her less money for rent - or maybe it was the use of the phone - than we should have been. I know if I'm told a weight or distance or height in the imperial system I can automatically tell if it's heavy or light, far or near, tall or short. With metric it means nothing until I convert it.
