your thoughts on metric

Lee · 2007-10-11T22:12:38+00:00

I am getting a bit fed-up with the 15/32...13/64... and the rest of the crap measurements we use here. Why shouldn't I go to what the rest of the world uses? Metric. Please no political BS. Seems like using 10's is a lot I'm not too old to change (62).

I wrote a piece for an American engineering publication on the American companies loosing trade as a result of sticking with 'English' imperial and wierd American number threads, so being in England the advantage of metric interchangability and easy calc. isn't lost on me!
