On 2004 May 17 , at 6:38 PM, MightyChimp sent us this reply from a BWMA member about what kinds of units are used in his experience in the UK:
Also, was looking at the coke machine at work, and saw the following
measures' abbreviations printed on the side: psi, oz, amp, volt. So there we
are.
Taken in context, that seems to say "See, I told you so -- they're all Imperial units."
It appears that the poor writer may really not know that "amp"* and "volt" are SI metric.

* The correct term, of course, is "ampere", not "amp", but I wouldn't expect anything better from a BWMA member.
