Serious question: why hasn't the UK switched to km yet? Everything else is metric/decimal now, it seems really weird to get stuck on this one last relic.

  I still meet people who argue that pre-decimal currency was better. (20 shillings in a pound. 12 pence in a shilling.)

    12 ist a fantastic number for doing maths in your head. 12 divides easily by 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6.
