[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1055329, member: 56232"] Blatantly going after the Express reading segment of society. The sort of people who think metric was brought in because ickle snowflakes found it too difficult to do the necessary maths of an unnecessarily complex system of measurements. It's ******* in the wind though, the sort of people who genuinely care at all are old, younger generations have no desire to go back to using older measurements. The only ones I've ever used are stone (although I've now shifted to weighing myself in kilos), pints and gallons (purely for fuel efficiency). Even then I wouldn't bat an eyelid if we switched to half litres and kilometers per litre. I've ordered drinks enough in Europe to know that ordering a half litre does not change the experience in the slightest. TBH I don't think many shops will switch back, it's way too much hassle and not widely supported. Maybe the odd street vendor but that's about it. [/QUOTE]
