Maybe we should go metric and euro at the same time and get rid of both sets

with but once done it would make life so much easier in the long run.

But we already are metric on weights and measures. Anyway changing both
things at once is a profiteer's charter, remember all the problems in
Germany and other places with people taking the opportunity afforded by
the Euro to put up prices? Even the suggestion of it was enough to
depress consumer spending.
