    ours is the only industry that went metric... well, kinda, they don't measure proof-liters now do they....

    Tires are totally bastardized - tread width in mm, ratio in % and diameter in "

    In Ozzie land we talk in both inches and metric, but it sort of depends on your age.

    Kids are almost all metric, the older you are the more old mesurments are used.

    As above tyre rims are mostly inches, the rubber metric, tyre pressure often in lbs.

    Weights mostly metric, but often expressed as stones when talking about people and tons when dealing with large stuff.

    Land size either acre or m2 or hectares!

    A tab stupid but that's how we do it!

    Now we are slightly off topic !

    I think the right of passage on a vic water ways is 1 chain from the high water mark.
    We got two different kinds of miles and knots.

    I want the standards all cleaned up, how about metric time for a start?

    Don't hold your breath, we'll all be dead before anyone makes a change.

    So instead of a month of Sundays it would be a hectoday of kilodays

    I thought we made a deal with the metric society, a shady backroom deal of sorts, where we got to keep days, hours, minutes, and seconds. But in concession, we had to give them the millisecond and microsecond.

    other than road bicycle tires, every tire rim size I have ever seen is inches... in germany, they say 'zoll', not 'inch'
