Ok, now to ask the obvious. Why should a particular country change its long held, tried and tested method of measurement? Good grief the Industrial Revolution came about with a myriad of different sizes. Some of these were often so local that moving from one county to another meant that nuts made, eg. here in Staffordshire would not fit a bolt made in Warwickshire. Yet the modern world came about despite this mix and match arena :-)
Leave things as they are, it works.
Not if you try to put a nut made in, say, France or Spain, to a bolt made in Britain :-P It's the same problem, but on a different scale. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEVyaztTMYHG2NR9URAicuAJkBWoPmDi1T1BorfK0sW2FWc1nGMACeOJAh Xd6rBz7VNdnK7X2IkHLjgt8= =6EAN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
