....or that action was taken on any of the issues raised in the reports.
Thinking here of cycle paths which were inspected weekly (allegedly) by a contractor for Transport Scotland

If they're still using imperial measurements it doesn't instil confidence

It actually pleases me. Perhaps we'll be able to drop this metric nonsense once and for all after october 31st.

It's great. It discovered the New World, won 2 World Wars, put men on the moon, and sent probes beyond the solar system, so it is clearly not poop as you suggest.

River levels are fine in the High Peak ATM. The catchment area is small and we've had a couple of dry days. That's all it takes to see levels drop

Maybe the standard of mathematics taught now is not so good, so metric is preferred?

Which is fine right up to the point you have to do anything that involves combining units, or even using different derivations of imperial units. In engineering normally if we come across anything archaic/american in imperial, we immediately convert it into SI units where the whole system is designed to work together, unlike this: -
