I'm going to try out the muntons carb tabs soon. I've been promising to send beer back to my family for years with little actually being done.
i love it when working on a car, the two easiest to reach bolts are standard and the one on the rear of a part is in metric!!!how does that happen at the factory?
It's already more viewed worldwide than the Olympics, so.....Coming to a theatre near you....
Bah, that metric stuff is a fad. It'll never last.
I can just imagine watching a football game with my 354.882355 mL beer, as the quarterback makes a pass for First and 9.144.
where are crumpets and tea when you need it?
I have said it before, but I find it silly that (US) Americans want to make less beer per batch...
haha its funny how many of you Americans dont even like Imperial and would gladly switch over to Metric, yet the country is still primary running on The Imperial System.
We’re creatures of perception, not words. If you say a mile, I can picture the distance. If you say 10 pound, I know what it feels like to pick up 10 pounds. So, it all comes down to communication. As long as we know what the other guy is talking about it doesn’t matter if it’s inch or metric. All you clowns who switch over to metric are the one’s who screwed up a working system of communication. I’m sure that somewhere down the road someone will come up with an even better, easier method, but if it mucks up the way we communicate, it’s worthless.
Now get me a damn beer. And it sure as hell better be 12 ounces!
well all the equipment is in convenient multiples of 5gal capacity.
interesting ipinions here. however, part of what defines the great US, is we don't blindly believe the rest of the world.
Actually a stone is 14 pounds.

Cause it's French....
Converting would make my job much easier. I think the imperial system is here to stay. It would had to of been adopted before or during the beginning of the industrial revolution. Bit of a bummer really.
Us "enlightened" ones can just sit and smile.
(Insert smiley to let you know it's meant light heartedly)
Learn, absorb, forget.
Knowing about 2.54 is like knowing about 3.142......
I learn all the beer math. Once I understand I then very rarely us it but at least I understand. KISS.
Always learn the long way round before using short cuts.
Calling it "Better" is the problem. If no one had ever switch to metric would the world some how be a worse place. Have their been significant advances made in other countries solely because the metric system was used? If we all used metric would it end war, cure aids, stop natural disasters?are you telling me you are just basically stuck in your ways and not willing to adapt change, even though you know its better?

Theres nothing wrong with chance if it can produce tangible results. There is no point in changing an established, working system of communication just because some academic nerds think its better. Im sorry if it hurts your brain when you actually have to think to convert between pints and ounces, but in the end its still the same amount of beer in you glass.
OK then, not better. just more logical, intuitive and sensible.
