Here in the USA, we were going down the path of metric in the 70s, I think. We even had mileage markers on the highways with both miles and km.
That was probably when Carter was in office. Repubs in the form of Ronnie came in in 1980 and, along with all the solar panels on the white house, tore all that stuff out. They really should be called the Regressive Party. We go backwards with them, such as, Hello Mr Crow, how are you?.
