What YOU can do to sort out Britain’s measurement mess
You can play your role to help complete the adoption of the metric
system in Britain in a number of ways:
|
Write to your MP |
We offer advice and suggestions on how to broach the subject with your MP, including sample letters. |
|
Write to the newspapers |
Newspapers can help to bring about change but they need to hear from you. We supply
contact details for major national and some well known regional newspapers. |
|
Contact the media |
The media are very influential but need a significant amount of feedback before
they will act. We supply information and contact details on how to make your views known to the broadcasters |
|
Stand up for your consumer rights |
Use our guidance notes to make your views known to retailers and consumer groups.
Let them know that you don't accept the current situation and that your rights are being violated by exploitation of the measurement mess. |
|
Use metric |
Try to set an example by using metric yourself. |
