Metric Martyrs : ウィキペディア英語版 | Metric Martyrs
The Metric Martyrs are a British advocacy group based in the United Kingdom who campaign for the freedom to choose what units of measurement are used by traders. The group states that it believes that vendors should have the freedom to mark their goods with any units they choose. This can be solely imperial units, solely metric units or both. This opposes the current legal position that imperial units may be used so long as metric units are also displayed. ==Background== The advocacy group was formed by individuals who had been accused of offences related to selling loose produce using imperial measures, including not displaying metric signage, and for using unstamped weighing machines (which had had their stamps removed by the authorities). Newspapers dubbed the group the 'metric martyrs' after Chris Howell, then weights and measures spokesman for the Institute of Trading Standards Administration (today the Trading Standards Institute), said that they could martyr themselves if they wanted to.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=BMWA 'Metric Culprits' )〕
