UK Government’s biased imperial measurements consultation
As a person who grew to adulthood under the crippling yoke of the British Imperial System and who has spent my time thereafter under the enlightened Metric System I simply cannot understand why the UK is always in some sort of perennial flap over metrification.<p>What&#x27;s the real problem? Still smarting over the loss of the Imperial Empire - or is it a perception that <i>God&#x27;s Own Imperial System,</i> - it being the natural order of things, life and the universe - has been usurped by the opportunistic French who - with the aim of humiliating the British in mind - have deliberately sought to replace the revered system  with their nasty tainted European one as long-belated revenge for Waterloo?<p>A bemused world looks on and asks if it&#x27;s not for the reasons stated above then what else could it be?<p>Why do the British keep shooting themselves in the feet by continually arguing the benefits of the Imperial System and reject the vastly superior Metric system that both Science and the vast majority of the world have accepted as a <i>fait accompli</i> eons ago?
