With all due respect, far from it.
It is really America and their staunch opposition to change that remains at heart the problem for us not having universal measuring system.
We have two very simple solutions. Either we accept the current state of play or we try and make it universal and thus change it. Seeing here in this debate that some believe it is inevitable, and even many Americans already do, the question remains on how to do it.
For example. Should we in Australia simply say that all products imported from America must be expressed only in metric units - following current Australian law?
