Fuuuuuuuuuuk me, you lot are still arguing over inches vs centimetres.
You can still use the metric system, but if you want to buy a pound of potatoes you can now without it being illegal.
That's all.
You don't even need to argue which is best, you're free to choose which one you want and use that - how the fuck can you turn that into a moan or an argument?
Centimetres? Thought you claim to have worked in the building industry?
Other than kids just out of school, nobody in the UK building trades uses centimetres.
Metres? Yes. If the sizes are unwieldy otherwise or if rough measuring.
Milimetres? Hell, almost all the time.
The old guys might use inches or feet but I think every UK builder can agree that nobody uses centimetres.
Seems that its used in dressmaking a lot though, did you get it from that?
