> There's talk of it happening regardless, as without the EU there's no requirement here to use SI units The EU did initially have the goal of getting rid of all non-metric units, but gave up in early 2000s since the UK was opposed. A part of me could see an UK-in-the-EEA being forced to switch to metric, if the EU were to go full metric (with the UK not having a vote of course), and that's applying to the EEA (incl UK). And if the UK were to apply to rejoin the EU, I suspect metricification would be one of the requirements of reentry. So the brexit vote might increase the chance of the UK going metric. :)
