Petition to: Reinstate British weights and measures as the prime system so that: British people once again know exactly what they are buying, and exactly how much it is going to rain. Pollution in ounces per mile would actually mean something. Take B
Sign pl0x. It's on the offical website of the office of the prime minister, so it may make a difference, unlike these petitions.net things.
I'm going to use the Imperial system regardless of whether those morons attempt to change it.
Hell yes! Take your metric and shove it up your arse!
Keep the Metric! Imperial is much harder o.O
Why is it harder? How is it harder?Quote:

Your dad isn't well educated on the system then.
It was something like that, I can't remember. I don't know the Imperial system ;)

Imperial system, I find much easier to use. You can actually tell the extact measurements. Also, I think Britian should change to dollars instad of sterling pounds..
the day britain uses dollars is the day i chop off my balls and ram them down the queens throat
Star wars indeed <3Quote:

But we're British! We're supposed to be unique, that's why we didn't switch to Euros. No other country should have either.
Money and measurement are two ENTIRELY different things. Also money is pretty dam close to metric now anyway, 100p inQuote:

ya, that would be a BIG help, eh? USD value is getting so low that people aren't even shocked if you burn a $5 bill.

omg the versatility of a dollar.
if you guys did change over to the dollar...which not only does not make logically or historical sense (since we wanted total succession) it'd be worth more than ours!
There are no litres in the imperial system.Quote:
