The UK can also continue using miles for roads and the troy ounce for precious metals.
Huh? Just as a sidebar here, who, anywhere in the world, trades precious metals in any unit but the troy ounce? To my knowledge, the world still adheres to this measurement unit for the metals. If someone can direct me to a source that quotes the price of gold by the gram or the kilogram, I'd like to hear it, because I've never heard it. Paul Trusten, R.Ph.
