This section is all about good and bad use of metric... and the downright ugly, situations where metric and imperial are badly mixed and so may be illegal, dangerous, or just look plain stupid! Yes, it's all about name and shame... but if somebody gets it right they'll get a mention in the "Good" section too!

I'm sure we're all familiar with Cadburys Dairy Milk... what we may not all be aware of is that along with the current (and very memorable) advertising campaign that the product itself is changing. Not the ingredients, but the package size. No more will we be able to buy this product in 100g and 250g packets, instead we will be offered 140g and 230g. |

The recent opening of the new Eurostar terminal at St Pancras Station in London has ushered in a new era for rail travel in the Britain finally linking the north of the country directly to the new, fast, HS1 (High Speed 1) line from London to the Channel Tunnel. It is now possible for trains to and from Paris and Brussels to travel at their intended speeds in Britain significantly cutting journey times to these and other European destinations. So, what's the problem? |
