| The Tonight news program revealed that the country would soon be converting to "metric time." after a leaked dossier from the government. Under the new system there would be 100 seconds to the minute, 100 minutes to the hour, and 20-hour days. Furthermore, seconds would become millidays, minutes become centidays, and hours become decidays. The report included an interview with a senior minister who praised the new time system. The minister was even shown sporting a new 10-hour metric clock face. I don't know why they don't leave it as it is. |

| No1, Because every change cost money, its taxes and you got to pay. That would have been the reason why if only it had not been reported today! |
