Good morning !

When it comes to measurements, either in Inches, feet , pounds ,ounces or Miles ,I am always thinking of the Imperial system first and the Metric System second. I guess it’s just because of the time period  I grew up in.

Canada joined almost all of the rest of world in using the metric system when it switched c on April 1, 1975.

Metrication in Canada

That was the day when weather reports were given for the first time in Celsius and not Fahrenheit.

Even today, though a person might fill up their car gas tank with 50 litres of fuel, and still say your car gets oh..15 miles to the gallon.

Let’s Jump ahead to today more than 45 years since we Canadians switched to using the metric system .

It’s Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee on Thursday, and to mark the special occasion, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to announce the return of imperial measurements. A government source says Johnson will confirm that retailers will soon be permitted to sell items in pounds and ounces rather than the grams and kilograms they currently use. For almost 60 years, the UK has used the metric system, and while it’s always been legal for items to be priced using pounds and ounces, they must also be priced in grams and kilograms. It’s thought that retailers will be able to choose which of the two, pricing methods, or both, they wish to use in the future. To read more CLICK HERE
