Hey that would be cool - you know I'd be up for it (and at least 2 of my gaming group - Madriel and Kwalish Kid on these boards). We're all from London.

Why, in the name of coherency and easiness, why do you keep using these silly Imperial system?!?
The Metric System. A system to rule all of them, a system to bind them and take them to the easiness.

Your silly metric system is based off boring things like the distance from the north pole to the equator of the Earth, and the freezing point of water.
Our noble English system is based off awesome things like the distance from the heel to the toe of an Emperor, and the freezing point of blood.
We'll never give in!

Logistics! Oh, my goodness, the logistics! The logistics of switching the United States to metric would be … staggering (un trabajo muy grande, mas grande que … pues, no se, pero muy, muy grande – despensame, pero no puede escribir los acentos con este computador, y tambien, pienso que mi Espanol es povre). It might be easier to just start teaching kids in U.S. schools how to do conversions in their head – we need to get better at math as a nation anyway (or at least, I do).
