I remember many years ago being forced to change from imperial to metric. I was maybe 5 at the time and after graduating from Kindergarten wondered what the point is of learning if they are going to change the rules all the time. Needless to say I left school on my 15th birthday.

35 years later, these pricks still can't make up their mind.

Take for example the following article in the Waikato Times.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crim...-gunshot-wound

"The offender is described as a male Maori, of stocky build, about six foot tall."

Make up your mind.

P.S. I hope they shot the prick.

Perhaps ..... that is how the witness described the offender...

And who are "these pricks"?

PS: about 6 feet = about 180 cm

I'm just glad my penis isn't 12 inches long.

While I stand guilty of many crimes, I don't think that the inability of some parts of New Zealand society to embrace the metric system after more than 40 years is one of those.

It starts with babies you know. All born in pounds and ounces. Women's corsetry also contributes to this malaise.

Most babies now are "graded" in metric, but ah yes, the old 42DD.... (not me by the way) Imagine the tongues hanging out if a bra size was 106.68DD
