[USMA:26779] Metric questions in the U K

[john mercer]

Hi I have some questions about metrication in the U K.  Does anybody know if the British auto industry use metric or imperial bolts on their cars?  Does the British construction industry use metric or imperial?  When highways and roads are been designed ar they designed in imperial or metric?  Are students in school educated in metric or imperial or both?  In Canada students in school from grade one threw grade 12 are educated in metric.  I have a daughter who is going to be 22 years old this month, she has no idea how many feet are in a mile.  Students in Canada have been educated in metric since about the mid seventy's.  In britain are overpass heights given in metric or imperial, in Canada they are given in metric only.  Thanks for your time.
