A certain well built blond chap said that he would bring back Imperial measures after 1/1/21. Manufacturers are free to label their products in imperial anyway. I still have trouble picturing a metre whereas a foot is easy. Bring back poles, chains etc?

Having worked an imperial centre lathe for many years using thousandths of an inch, hundredths, 64ths, 32nds, 16ths, 8th's and 1/4's the mathematical calculations were tiresome and unnecessary. Thou and 100s would have been far better to stick to (try working out how many 64ths are in an inch without using a decimal point..) but even those increments aren't easy to project into miles.
Unfortunately as an inbetweenie I use both metric and imperial and wish the UK had bit the bullet years ago and converted wholly to metric, we'd have all been used to it by now.

When the female leader that I still hate decided to scrap free eye exams, our practice went from 90 to 9 patients a week, the practice closed not long after.
I ended up doing a couple of years in an industry that at school I concentrated on.... Engineering

I went for an interview and the chap asked me several questions, I was of that era where we worked in both imperial and metric, he gave me the job straight away, he wanted to work on a guillotine as the young uns worked with mild steel (cheap) and the old boys worked with stainless steel (expensive) but the problem was the drawing office was in metric and the old boys was imperial.

Went well for a couple of years, it was fun, another thing happend at the same place, I was invited on a coach trip with my mate (drinking day out) to GCHQ, I only went for the beer but ended up on the front page of every Sunday newspaper going at the front of the march  a week later and guess who was the shopsteward 

Anyways back on subject, I still to this day use both quite happily.

I use different systems for different things - sowing and planting spacings are Imperial but mixing fertilisers best done in metric. I used to design kitchens and they became metricated just after I started. Much easier in metric.
