Marco Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 No, it's nothing to do with adapting to other countries, its just easier to compare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSoop Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 We are just behind the times. Metric is just the modern measurement. Yep indeed we are... Its like we still use 'stones' for weight while other countries use kilograms or 'pounds'.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
