    Having lived in the UK all my life, I am totally accustomed to inches on one side of a tape measure and metric on the other edge. When I was at school in the 60s and early 70s we used metric but at home and everywhere else it was imperial all the way so I'm comfortable with either although I secretly prefer imperial.

    • @perrybrown4985
      @perrybrown4985 Рік тому

      Same here in Australia - although for a while during the changeover, any rulers or tapes with inches on them were prohibited to encourage adoption - which seems a bit inconvenient and draconian. Fortunately we aren't so prejudiced these days and both are allowed 🙂.
      The downside of metrication was all the existing measurements, especially in the building industry, were all the names changed and nothing else - which has left us with a whole bunch of meaningless sizes for things. (But if you are familiar with pipes and pipe thread "standards", this is nothing new)
