This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Have a serious debate in to the reversal of the metric system, back to Imperial.
Although the science and Mathmatics use metric. We as a country still use Imperial measurements of inches, feet, yards, stone, pounds, and ounces more.
A consensus needs to be looked at, to possibly revert back to the original imperial system of measurement.
More details
When Britain changed to the metric system in 1965, the gallon, was changed to litres, with no change to the cost. The division of imperial, means more produce for your money. Instead of dividing things by tens for ease.
