The current British Weights and Measures Association, or BWMA, is an advocacy group established in the United Kingdom (UK) in 1995, founded by Vivian Linacre.[1] The current body was established in 1995, but there had also been a predecessor organisation, also called the BWMA, that was established in 1904, and lapsed after the First World War.
The BWMA's stated aim is to uphold the freedom to use the Imperial system and to oppose the compulsory imposition of the metric system in the UK. By the time of the modern BWMA's founding in 1995, British schoolchildren had been educated using only metric measures since 1974 (earlier in some places), and British industry had changed to using metric tools and equipment during the 1980s and were in most cases manufacturing to metric standards since about that time.
