I feel your frustration Zlatan. I can't stand Fahrenheit. Celcius so much better. Another thing that pisses me off is the AM PM thing. If you say 21:00 it's considered military time here. For Gods sake!
When I lived in England I once had a huge discussion with an American on how the metric system is superior. It ended in a victory for me when I told him 1000 meters equals 1 kilometer, and then I asked him how many feet went in a mile and he didn't know :weee:

I've done that so many times!! But what makes it even more funner is when you discuss/argue the swedish mile, which is : 1 mile-10 km

I'm a little wary in using Sweden for an example for anything. Didn't they used to drive on the left side of the road?

That is a practical thing considering their distances, I like it.

Well maybe in Sweden but in Holland that could be a problem... Bit too crowded for such a mass-change
I heard it was a disaster even back then. They called for many volunteers for the change. But I can imagine it will be much worse nowadays.
