Weird that everyone thinks that our 12 pennys to the shilling and 240 pennys to the pound was odd. Makes you wonder why if it was that bad we have not ended up with 10/20 hours a day . No one in the uk at the time had any problems at all working the uk currency in the same way no one has trouble with the 12/24 hour clock Also weird that formula 1 cars are still littered with unf/unc threads. As said before it will be many many years if ever before imperial measurements disappear.

And for all you unfortunates that remember,every thing doubled in cost,who in their right mind would pay "10 bob" for a Mars Bar.
4 Fruit Salad or Black Jacks for 1 old penny,what has the world come to.

Objectively, the benefit of the 12-base system is that everything is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6. On the other hand, we memorise 10-base multiplication table in the primary school, 12-base one would be larger almost by half.
That said, time and calendar is the weirdest measuring system of all, even before you take leap seconds, timezones and and daylight savings into account.
