A very British mess
"A very British mess" is a campaign slogan used by the UK Metric Association (UKMA). It refers to the numerous anomalies that have emerged in the United Kingdom due its slow migration to the metric system, as a result of which both metric and traditional Imperial units have been used concurrently since the late 1960s.
