Topic B on this thread:
There was supposed to be a "soft" metric conversion followed by a "hard" metric conversion.
The soft conversion was labelling the old quart jars in microlitres; the hard conversion was when the containers were rebuilt to round metric sizes.
When I ask what the speed limit is, my wife converts the sign to mph and the I have to convert back to the kph on my speedometer.
I still can't visualize coach lengths in tens of thousands of mm.
