I think the BBC policy is to provide every measurement in both types of unit.
- redsocksfan45 6mo agoIs it also their policy to botch the significant digits? 300 mph is obviously a crude estimate. Converting to 483 km/h implies an unreasonable degree of precision.

- CarVac 6mo agoThey use MPH in the UK.
- aaronbrethorst 6mo agoTheir hours are pegged to the hogshead, and are about 3 seconds shorter than American hours.
- lostlogin 6mo agoThe US use of units is worse than the UK. Said from a proudly metric country, New Zealand, where everyone knows their weight in kilograms and height in feet and inches.
- NooneAtAll3 6mo agoat least it's not stones
- mr_toad 6mo agoMy parents used to measure us in feet and stones. I still know my height in feet, because it hasn’t changed in decades. My weight, unfortunately, I could only tell you in kilograms.
- The_Blade 6mo agoThe metric system is the tool of the Devil! My Tesla gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it!
