On the other hand, there is The Sun. When I was in Portsmouth a few weeks
ago, right after the Michael Jackson aquittal, The Sun had a headline
(about "Jacko" wanting the evidence pictures of him back) that no paper in
the USA could ever have gotten away with.
Interestingly, last time I went on holiday in America (a month after "9/11")
people in our hotel that were from America said they always bought the
British newspapers (imported) as they tend to tell more than the equiv US
ones. The 9/11 situation was specifically a good example of this.
All papers will include in a quote whatever the speaker said - metric,
imperial, etc. The Telegraph tends to use imperial within its stories; The
Guardian less so. (However, some of the graphics of the Tube, in The
Telegraph, were metric.)
Still a muddle, as they say.
"They" <> friends, family, work colleagues and people I meet ;-)
