The Village of Spiggot Boycotts Metric System (1973)
Westward Television, a British TV studio, produced a documentary feature about the village of Spiggot. Apparently the members of this town were refusing to accept the new decimal currency recently adopted by the British government. The feature included interviews with local officials from Spiggot. The documentary prompted an outpouring of support for this rebellious village from the British public, and many people expressed a willingness to join it in its anti-decimal crusade. Unfortunately for this burgeoning rebellion, the village of Spiggot did not exist.
