Isn't it about time Britain dumped its metric system in favour for something better?

I can't think of anything smarter than to return to a system of gills, penneywieghts, drams, chains, fathoms and bushels. Absolute brilliant suggestion.
I can’t help thinking that was a pivotal moment in British politics. Tory MPs have been attacking him in dribs and drabs since the Sue Grey Report, but I suspect seeing him booed by a crowd at a royal event will cut through keenly. They will see first hand how he has quickly turned from electoral asset to liability.
The two upcoming bye elections will be fascinating. I suspect they could be his last chance to cling to power.

Follow the money, Boris or Jacob Rees-Mogg is my bet

Because there are too many notes in general with a lot of music. And I would actually rather have 100 seconds in a minute than 60. 60 seconds is not enough in my personal opinion.
There is a reason we dont have 12 fingers or 12 toes. God wanted us to only count to multiples of ten. So why dont we have 10 days to a week and 10 months for a year.
You must not forget the legs and arms in this total equation of yours. That is a total of 24 receptable parts, each divided by three connections. It all adds up, doesn't it?
