Well spotted John.

 

I noticed that the archaeologist in Picture 9 used a metric-only tape measure.  
These are hard to come by in the UK, but east to buy on the other side of the 
Channel.

Subject: [USMA:53528] The Atlantic metric only article

 

The In Focus column of The Atlantic, which I believe is an American 
publication, published this article on London’s new Crossrail project. It is 
entirely in metric units. Just hope David Cameron, who visited the project, 
noticed.
