Britain does *not* use metric standards.
We were there about 3 years ago and petrol was sold in gallons
and the speed signs were in miles per hour.
The speedo on our rental car was in mph.
Stuff at the supermarket was sold in pounds.
Britain has *not* gone metric.
Let me update you. Petrol is now sold in litres, and the supermarkets
are now in grams and kilos.
Road signs are supposedly going metric for the 2012 Olympics. The
Department of Transport is balking at the cost.
Spedometers have to have dual markings in km/h and miles/h.
