Now that is where the problem lies.
The old farts and imperial purists are just holding on to their stupid inches and feet.
How long ago was Australia gone over to metric?
And what about your speedometer in the car.
Como'n lets get real, it is just some old people holding on to their stuff (or are they just the poms
).
