    Why would they even consider this? What advantage is there in using the imperial system? The only one I can think of is that it has always been used and people are used to it

      As a Brit, the only imperial measurement I actually use is the mile. I don’t even know my height or weight in imperial.

      It may sound idiotic but European Civil Aviation converted to imperial a few years (maybe a decade?) ago.

      Instead of meters they use feet etc.

      Totally idiotic.
      But it’s idiocracy so it’s ok.
