I would teach both the imperial and the metric systems in schools. I am at a loss as to why that does not already happen without controversy.
I would also teach the fact that it was the Conservatives, with Thatcher as Education Secretary, who began metrication and who decimalised the currency.
As well as the fact that the metric system was invented by an Englishman, John Wilkins.
He is supposed to be the subject of the last chapter of my book otherwise about the Frenchmen whom French children are taught invented or discovered pretty much everything. I am thinking of calling it French Exceptions.
Another book on the To Do list. It lengthens by the day.
