This story cracked me up CNNHow did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

There are useful things about metric, like the fact that 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogramme. And, coincidentally, one kilogramme of water has a volume of one litre.
I don't get why car performance is still measured in miles per gallon when a lot of people (i.e. me) have probably got no idea what a gallon looks like, weighs or costs.
Also, this country has been officially metric for more than 40 years now. And the metric system was invented by an Englishman.Comment
