NO it won't have gone..............

we have gents at work who are 27 and use it, just because you do not teach in schools, means it will die out, The united states excludes massive influence and also word of mouth and speech (the oldest school in the book) well before schools its self, will ensure feet and inches will be around alot longer than 10 years, sorry mr EU lover.

I think you forgot i was taught metric, I understand both, but admit it Imperial is better visual maths, far better. I did not see much mention a class leader from your article , EU no where to be seen.

Sorry kidda, just because people do not want to use it, does not mean they do not understand it. My wife is only in here early thirties.....she hates metric....all my family and friends to the age of 22 still talk in feet and inches in height.....your going to have a nasty shock in 10 years my friend.. it will still be here after your long gone.
