CAN you explain why, in light of the recent and long overdue decision by the EU to give up it's ridiculous campaign to force the UK to adopt metric measurements (kilometres, metres, kilos etc), I am still having to put up with The Northern Echo using them.
As far as I can ascertain, the vast majority of the population prefers Imperial measurements in general terms.
I may, of course, be the odd one out, but I challenge you to put this to the test and ask your readership.
