I've heard England has criminalized the use of the use of the English system of weights and measures. Heard a report about a shopkeeper who refuses to sell vegetables in kilos. He says that there is no court in the land that will convict him of using the imperial system of weights and measures.

I was in grade 6 when we changed to metric. Metric is very easy, it's all in 10ths.

I inch = 2.5 cm or 25mm.

Metric is better than Imperial.
