Ezra Are you suggesting that today's Daily Mail uses "nothing but imperial"? May I suggest that you peruse the following stories from today's paper? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1170267/My-husband-going-kill-terrified-mother-told-police-hours-murdered-children.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1170358/Apprentice-Watch-Big-Bad-Ben-spared-need-villain.html Or perhaps look at the default settings for their weather forecast? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/weather/index.html Can I suggest that you have perhaps been fooled by one of Stephen's typical exaggerations? It's quite easy to find one "imperial-only" article then claim it is representative of the whole paper (or even of the entire UK press!)
