It just didn't make any sense whereas things divided into and by 10 is so much easier. I love that 'continental rubbish'. My daughter is in her 50s and she's never known anything but decimalisation. It makes far more sense.
I can understand the old imperial system (in weights) only because my first job was in bakery and the baker I worked with worked in Ib/oz but all knew kilo's. We had some friction when we started working together, he was to stubborn to change so me learning the conversions did me a favour to a degree over the year's (usually when an member of the older generation is in the room and they can't do a conversion or when a question on a TV quiz show is asked).0 -

Like most things with Europe the UK ended up half in and half out when it came to metrification.
Why it gets people so excited is beyond me.
As for milk, I buy 2 litres of filtered semi-skimmed and it currently costs £1.50. Still cheap in my book.1 -
I'm not having any of this "pints" rubbish. I just go in to Tesco and get my regular 2.272 litres of homogenised cow juice. Only now it costs £4.99 instead of £1 like it's been for the past 4 years. I blame that Starmer bloke for starting the war in Ukraine.3
