Metric units

Hi, I think it would a good idea if you were to avoid this discussion for a while. Although you have raised some valid points (e.g. why should someone who isn't a UK railway enthusiast know what a chain is?), users like SouthernElectric and Olana North don't seem to want to listen, purely on the grounds that it's you that's raising them. So we just end up with a lot of arguing and going round in circles, rather than making any progress.

Incidentally, I don't think it's true to say that the UK is a purely metric country, but on the other hand it's not a purely imperial (measurements) country either! Regards, --RFBailey (talk) 15:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion on the metrication of distances in UK transport articles would be the same if Lord Lucan was to reappear and raise the issue. SouthernElectric (talk) 15:41, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, the UK is specifically and explicitly not a metric country. — iridescent 23:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It shows the uk is not exculisvly metric but the weights and measures act requires the sale of certian goods in ml and kg.--Lucy-marie (talk) 00:11, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
