[QUOTE="Abide with me., post: 75937740, member: 432461"] I'm glad you brought this subject up, because the British misuse of metric vs imperial is one of my pet hates, for example we categorically have MILES in the UK, but MSM insists on calling them kilometers!!! This is surely a political nod the the vile EU which we are now no longer a member, and I wish they would pack it in! This kind of thing comes from the same stable as refusing to say BC and AD, it's now CE or something like that which won't offend non Christians in our predominantly Christian country. Re cms vs inches, this us another adoption from the EU, and the result is mass confusion amongst people of a certain age, I think it's wrong to change your culture to suit foreigners, it should be the other way round. Rant over : ) [/QUOTE]
