Britain claims America!

I just read that post for the first time, that was great!

I love metric system, so neat and accurate.

I must say this is a bloody good thing. Its about time those champs from across the pond gave us a srict talking to.

Now where did I put my tea? Oh yeah Boston Harbor....Blast it all.

Oh, stop being such babies! You had it coming to you...

Since us Americans are now under British control does that mean we dont have to brush our teeth or do they just rot over time if you consider yourself "British"

And band American football? The people that play rugby in UK couldnt hold any American football players jock strap?  

 Lol its not about it being difficult, if I really wanted to I could go on a website now and learn it fine in no time, but I dont want to, I like the Imperial system, I dont see any reason why I should have to learn Metric.

 I like Imperial and dislike Metric and I'll never change, so thats that lol.

 Did a lil search on Wiki, its funny how developed and entrenched arguments for and against the adoption of Metric are

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication

 "The UK and U.S. have seen the greatest opposition movements. Many in the UK see it as the imposition of a foreign system and to be connected with other unpopular ideas from mainland Europe, such as the EU, the Euro and driving on the right."

 Brilliant

 The British government has been forcing the Metric system on the British, previous generations use Imperial, whereas when I was in school only a few years ago my generation seems to be given a confusing mix of Imperial/Metric trying to suit everybody, but ultimately left people baffled.

 So people tend to revert to the system they were taught first which is often Imperial.

 British governments have been trying to force the metric system onto the people for well over 100 years, I think it's pretty obvious we dont want it by now.  

 I don't know anybody who doesnt weigh themselves in stone and doesnt know how long a inch foot or yard is and ive never met or heard anybody from this country who says kilometres instead of miles. I see no reason whatsoever why we should abandon a system we understand and are comfortable with just to fit in with everybody else.

 Just leave us be

Metric system is great as one of the few Americans that understands it and the ease it brings Im am still bothered by my goverments continuing the use of it over an antiquated non uniform system.

I certainly do think the modern American wouldnt even notice if Britian took over again. ..

Holy Shmo!

   Im a caliph!!!!
