If you use British Pounds in your post, would you fancy using metres too? ;)

We don't use the metric system very much in the U.K. I'm afraid ;) We still use miles etc quite often.

Which is understandable if we remember which empire spawned the US... :p

Aside from miles and pints virtually everything else is metric in the UK.

What about stones? Those are basically 14 pounds.

Stones, pounds, ounces may be used by people of a certain age, but all weights and measures are officially metric. The list of exceptions are very small - miles, pints (for beer) and acres I think.

Ireland is slightly further along than the UK - all road signs and speeds were switched from miles to kilometres a few years back.

But in day to day usage, I hardly ever people talking about meters or kilometers or other such metric stuff. And I'm not really 'of a certain age', I'm a uni student. And even if we're not completely anti-metric, if Britons were ever told that their miles, stones and pints were extinct there'd be a mini revolution :p
