I know that, I'm from Ireland. However, in comparison to the US, the UK is practically France as far as metrification goes. We still sell by the pint here too, and people still use imperial units casually (mostly inches/feet for human-relative distances, pounds/stone for people's weight, and pints for draught beer and cider) but everything else is metric at this point. The UK should probably bite the bullet as far as roadsigns and speed limits go. It's about time, really.
