You laugh, you lose v4

Las unidades anglosajonas me la pelan a dos manos, cómo las odio. Por eso me es molesto leer artículos en la Wikipedia inglesa (a pesar de que suele ser más completa): por los paréntesis con unidades estúpidas que no me importan una mierda.

Estoy leyendo comentarios en el Daily Telegraph sobre el cambio al SI:

-Well lets not forget WHY petrol was changed and measured in litres. So that we stupid ignorant motorists wouldn't realise how hard we were being screwed at the pump. I like miles, inches and especially pints.

-OK - if you like them so much, how many inches in a mile (no googling)?

-And why would anyone need to know that?

-Scaling an Ordnance Survey map which represented one mile as one inch. A scale of 1 to 63360. Now, whilst ROAD distances are measured in miles, our OS maps are only metric, so what you see on the map is not what you are going to see on the signpost!
