   Good idea Rob from Rugby! If we paid them in pence we'd be quids in 'cos there's 240 in the old pound and not a piffling 100 like the new!
   
   Imperial weights and measure do not translate into Metric with ease. Ask any cook trying to follow a recipe!

   cant we now get rid of the whole metric rubbish and get back to our good ole imperial. it saved us during ww2 as no forenger could understand how it worked. i think we should re-use it so we can scam them again and get more of our eu money...

   will the EU be compensating the family of the sunderland market trader,( who sadly died) who fought to keep british measurements. it cost him & his family a lot of money, in costs & fines,& his fight probably did,nt help his health either.

   I use both sytems at times but with maths, electronics, and my work as an engineer I use metric which is easyier for that.
   
   The only thing I object too is this constant rubbish about the EU and the victim syndrome...the EU are doing this and that to us poor brits. We part of the EU and are represented by our Meps, like all pollititions we might not agree with all they do but the EU is not some dictatorship as some would have us bellieve.

   What's lazy about using a complicated system to metric? Sorry pal, you have to use the old grey matter more because any old idiot can use a system based on ten which goes back to fingers and toes! (Somewhat older than Imperial?)
   
   Our currency was changed in 1972, 35 years ago. Have you noticed that most young people in shops can't add up without a till or calculator? So much for your easy metric system.
