Just finished watching on one of my local PBS stations an episode of a British TV series called Noah's Ark about a country vet and his entourage.
According to the unofficial web site (http://www.troth.demon.co.uk/pages/noahsark.html) the show aired in the UK from December '97 to November '98. I was disappointed to observe that the script writers used "pints" and "gallons" to refer to water volumes. Do our UK correspondents have any plausible explanations to offer? What's the state of metric usage in shows produced and aired in the UK these days? Ezra
