But the metric system also uses the same basis for volume derivation. A cubic inch of water weighs one ounce and a pint should have weighed a pound (16 oz) but it was decided in 1824 to replace the various different gallon formats with a single definition that it should weigh 10lb. With 8 pints to the gallon it meant that each pint weighs a pound and a quarter or 20 oz. In metric a cubic centimetre of water weighs one gram and a litre weighs a kilogram so if you order a half kilo of beer you'll get 500cc or half a litre....

But do you know how many barleycorns there are to a pole or how many perches in a chain? The UK adopted the logical metric system back in 1965 quite voluntarily but they decided it was too expensive to change the road signs so kept those in miles. And too expensive to replace glass in pubs and milk bottles, so they held on to pints for those.

Sounds like a plea to shoot the messenger. Why not stop the "sxxt". It will only find other ways to get out (TV, papers etc)

I find it a bit odd that the western countries, who usually get hot under the collar at a hint of a bent election, have been deafeningly silent on all the shenanigans going on at the moment.
