Its not just a "European" reality.

94.7% of the world uses the metric system by population, so why don't the 5.3% change over to metric?

Is it the fact that the 5.3% of the world are the biggest buyer of pen kits

So we have bob hope of changing them over to standardising bushes to metric. (Sorry standardizing bushings)
