I have never been a fan of the metric system, but we have to live with it now.
Pick which you would prefer:
The metre, based on the distance travelled by light in free space in 1/299,792,458 of a second or one ten-millionth of the distance from the Equator to the North Pole through Paris.
Or, the yard, based on the standard length of an arrow – perhaps at the Battle of Agincourt?

My four man valise liferaft was due for its triennial service and since I was in the Southampton area I took it to Cosalt off Marine Parade.
The liferaft was good value for money and was in very good condition after three years. I photographed the raft in various stages of inflation, its equipment and the interior and exterior.
Cosalt were very helpful and obliging and the servicing engineer, Dave Guy, explained certain aspects of the servicing which were new to me and which I would not have learnt if I had not been there to see the process.
