    If you look at the meat in Tescos for example you will see that it is marked in weights of Lbs oz and kilos, grammes.
    But go to a local butcher, support the one in your community, and you can ask for 1 1/2 ld of something for example and the price is maked in price /pound and kilo

    It is still used on construction sites. Generally height and breadth in inches, length in metres.
    Chippies still refer to mails in inches Road signs are in miles and the count down signs for turn off from duel carriageways and motorways are in yards.
    Barrels are measured in Gallons whether oil or beer.
    and wehen did you last hear someone bragging that his dick was 22 centimetres long??

    Absolutely definitely we stopped using metric 30 years ago. That's why the probably don't teach it any more.

    But who knows, that might change.

    It was only deadline day internationally for the Premier League. They can still trade with EFL clubs but not each other!

    I thought that food stuffs had to be sold in metric units (other than some exceptions like some alcohol), but it doesn't mean that sellers cant advertise the imperial equivalent at the same time.
