You are presumably referring to: http://www.ukma.org.uk/campaign/principlesofchange.html#choosefriendly That section on the UKMA website does not reflect the views of all UKMA members. I am a member of the UKMA living in Britain. I disagree with the opinion expressed by the author of that particular piece of text on the UKMA website. All campaign groups have disagreements so that is not surprising. I have no criticism of the choice of British industries to use mm and m but not cm. Their industry standards are in line with what Pat says.
