Question

Of the multitude of aviation related questions that popped into my mind when I commenced flying some 20 years ago, the only one left unanswered is:

Why is aviation not standardised with regard to 'weights & measures'?

Altitude in feet & metres, VMC cloud separation in feet & metres, fuel brought and used in IMP gallons, U.S. gallons, litres, pounds & kilogrammes!
