Actually  imperial to metric in this case is foot to meter, inch to
centimeter. Not  so much a slam of the system rather a question as to why
over a hundred  years later certain countries still insist on a not so
locical for this age  system. Imperial made sence in Roman times, and
Charlemagne's times, but  having grown up in a metric country, I find it
highly illogical. Even the  UK seems to be coming right with metrification
(This from my viewing of BBC  food channel:)

Why do some people drive on the lest side of the road and others on the  
right?
 
I say Viva la difference!
