Really does not paint a true picture. Living in the UK I use metric for everything except driving distances, driving speed and measures of beer (pints).
And what measurements are still signed / represented in some way in imperial measurements in the UK? Road signs, speedometers and beer at a bar in a pub. Everything else is presented in metric and everybody I know uses metric for everything else.
- grahamel 12y agoAh but your different opinion/use of measurement does highlight how gradual these kinds of change can be - similar to changes to word meanings over time. I didn't say everyone does. Milk is still sold multiples of pints, with the litre value listed. Laptop screens are measured in inches.
