Metric versus Imperial - The Great Debate

This forum is for discussions on the pros and cons of metric and imperial. Unlike the other discussion boards run by BWMA, this forum is not geared to a particular topic. You may raise any issue you wish, for instance: the ease of use of the two systems, the relevance of the European Union, history and culture, scientific/mathematical points, the role of bureaucracy, or comparisons to other campaigns, such as restoring the traditional (pre-1974) counties.
