@Neverfadingwood This shambles is due to an early incarnation of Euro-scepticicism in the 1980s that equated the metric system (first defined by the Royal Society in London in the 19th century) with the EU and 'Brussels'. To appease these headbangers the government abolished the Metrication Board and left us with a half-arsed system that makes no sense to anyone. It should have been a warning to us all, but now the headbangers rule... #Metrication #metric
