AT 90-60-90 SHE’S A SHAPELY LASS!


It is a mythical beauty


competition in the 1970s. The winner is a beautiful, blonde gjiddcss. Her vital statistics are 90-60-90. Unbelicveable? Well, it is


not only possible, but in the not too distant future vital statistics, like all other measurements, will be in centimetres and millimetres.


And by the way, if you


are wondering, that set of figures, by today’s reckoning, represents 36-24-36.


A “going metric” exhibi­


tion was held in London re­ cently, the first of several to explain to us all how our lives will be changed by the coming of the metric revolu­ tion. Going metric will literally


affect everything we do in the world of commerce: Buying a pint of beer will mean our menfolk asking for half a litre of the best brew. By the end of this year,


the engineering industry will start to go entirely metric, and by the end of 1970. We will be well on our way to changing over to a decimal

been issuing these spoons for almost a year now—one indi­ cation that Clithcroe is not going to be trying to figure out the metric and decimal systems at- the iasl minute. A t . a Clitheroe confec­

that classes should be started and this may be made pos­ sible in autumn next year.


Of the people I spoke to,


a few thought that iL was the older people who were going to -find the changeover to decimal currency hard. The general reaction was


that the younger generation would soon get used to the idea and adjust accordingly. The Decimal Currency


Board have published some booklets on aspects of deci­ malisation which will help anyone in doubt about chan­ ging to decimal currency.
