Flat Earth Society In Resounding Victory
I wasn't even aware that there was an organisation called the Active Resistance to Metrication. That's ARM right? Presumably with a 12" shotgun. Imperial measurements are 'part of our traditions and part of our culture' apparently. Oh dear.
I could never understand those people who just 'couldn't get their head round' the metric system. You're aware of the number 10 right? That's all you need. 10. It's that easy.
I'm teaching one who's only 40 years old. Surely he shouldn't be able to remember the imperial system. What's wrong with these people? Is the standard of British culture so poor that we have to cling on to fairly irrelevent parts of it? The imperial system - the pound - fox-hunting. Is that all we've got left? Shit. 'Some of us wake up, others roll over.'

The problem is not that it's a different system. The problem is that it's a French system.
It's much more comforting to say "Half a pound of cheddar" than "220 grams of Camenbert".
