Just after the metric system was introduced here, someone put out notice that we were converting to metric time. There would be 100 seconds in a minute, 100 minutes in an hour, 10 hours in a day, 10 days in a week, and 100 weeks in a years. It was very funny, but a lot of people thought it was serious.

I must admit that I DON'T miss a lot of the imperial measurements such as chains, rods, perches, fathoms, leagues etc.
