What would you prefer to the reintroduction of imperial measurement?

I still “think” in miles not km and my weight in kg means little - but in stones and lbs - ???????

I certainly wouldn’t want to change the monetary system. A step too far and I don’t think it’s being suggested anyway.

What would you prefer to the reintroduction of imperial measurement?

Easy.

Not having the reintroduction of imperial measurement.

Timberline? no idea should read timber

Building materials have remained a hybrid of metric and imperial e.g. 2metres of 2” by 4” of timberline

So long as the choice is given to use either/both measures I’m not particularly bothered. I certainly wouldn’t want to go back to completely imperial measures, I prefer the metric system. I’m not sure we could go back anyway, our monetary system can’t really be changed surely.

As far as I know it’s just allowing retailers to use imperial measures if they wish. Much as I still loathe coping with metric measurements after all these years (yes, I know …), that would probably lead to further price increases by the back door as has already been said on another thread. Given that US uses the imperial system, I have no problem with people having a choice. We already, as has been said, operate a mixture of imperial and metric.

Travel will never be easier as we have far too many people crowded on this little island. And air travel is considered as everyday as jumping on a bus or train. I know a man who went from Luton to Barcelona for the day. Ridiculous.

Goodness I hope he doesn't start on the coinage that would cause a problem. I would like something done to make travel easier, as it is DH will never leave the island again.

What are you offering?

Imperial is still used for some things, in other things everyone has got used to metric now.

The under 50's basically know everything metric, and very little imperial.

We can't live in the past, the world has changed, and we need to keep up.

I'd like to see improved infrastructure, and a huge amount of genuinely affordable housing built. For buying and social renting.

That, I think, is one if the most pressing issues, at the moment.

Not whether we can go back to buying spuds by the pound...?

Imperial measurements have never gone away…

Tell that to Johnson, he clearly hasn’t got the message.
