You know Bristol who would have ever thought Britten would go metric when we are still foot, miles. Yet we adopted a decimal system for our money early on. It just goes to show where our heads are at!
It's quite ridiculous isn't it John
Even now in the UK - if I go into a store to buy timber, I can specify the length that I want in metres, but the cross section is still referred to in imperial.
So I have to look for 2 metres of 2" x 2"
