Try it, you'll like it.

Agreed. Metric just makes sense. The Imperial system is just plain bananas

Sorry Trimer, I have nothing useful to contribute

By the way, mass is a slug in the Brit system. Do you also have a set of witworth wrenches?

We still work in slugs for inertia and, yes, I have witworth sized sockets! So what's the problem?

There's an old joke a bout a guy who buys a new triumph in the sixties and takes it back to the dealer, complaining that it leaks a pint of oil a month. The dealer tells him "Oh yes, you have serious problem, it should be leaking at least a quart a month"
