He came from England before it
metricated and still thinks in inches and Fahrenheit, which annoys me
You might be surprised to know that most people still think in terms of
inches in England - mainly because only certain aspects of England has been
metricated.
Fahrenheit tends to get used in England during the summer months.
This also applies to the rest of the United Kingdom which comprises of the
countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. England is the
second largest piece taking up the lower right (most south-easterly) portion
of the country.
