Do they think that somehow they can rise above the appalling inefficiency of hydrogen?

I think in the aerospace industry they have admitted that and work in metric fractions.

3.25 inches instead of 3¼".

Carole has a track record of being right.

I've always wondered, how did they get to the moon in feet and inches?

I've worked in the building industry since the early '80s; always in metric, except for a few projects I did in USA which was a learning experience.

I have to admit, inches are nice for drawing 1:1 joinery details, but ¼ inch to the foot instead of 1:50 is just weird.

I try not to comment on Patel's, Braverman's and Mahmood's skin colour because skin colour should never be relevant to one's ability to do any job.

But it is relevant to this discussion because what do they think will happen to them when they let this odious genie out of the bottle?

Like a lot of data used in planning, such as the New Metric Handbook used in architecture, the data set came from post war USA servicemen because they were available and easy to measure; overlooking the facts they are all men and fit and able.

Correction: Saturday evening.

Too early to speculate but five, or six, young adults in a car in the early hours of Sunday morning probably doesn't take too much imagination to understand the circumstances.

I'm older. I vaguely remember learning chains, roods, and perches in primary school but then metrication came and saved us.

That stood out for me too.

First proposed in 1818 (yes, 1800 not 1900), was due to be implemented before WW1 intervened, finally became formal government policy in 1965.

Why am I not surprised the Daily Wail still hasn’t yet caught up with metrication?

Will, you were one of the first on my timeline to criticise Starmer. I was prepared to give him time.

I was wrong.
