Since many of us, Britons, have a problem with metrication, why doesn't the world go imperial instead ?
We are after all still a world power...
We must be able to foist our imperial system on the rest of the world.

I think that suggesting that the English speaking part of the world take over the whole world and force imperial on everyone is just as narrowminded as those who think that metric only should be forced. Shows that there are those who lack diversity on both sides!

Let us choose what we want to use!

I presume "Freddy" was just being mordantly ironic. At least, I hope so.

Paul:

Shhh! I was "playing the game"!

I think it is patently clear that "Freddie" is a metric-head who is trying to disgrace us. Truly low. If he were going to do that then he might as well pretend to be an "Imperial folk" properly. Tsk, tsk, what has fraud come to...

I was mordantly ironic, yes...

Or should that be "moronicly idiotic, yes..."
