    It’s what most of the world uses. Tea-ville and Yeehawland are the only two that typically use imperial still.

      Not just tea-ville, but former tea-ville colonies also measure human height in feet and inched. And former tea-ville colonies make up a large portion of the human populace.

        I live in New Zealand, we don’t use inches. In fact, you’re required to use metric if you’re selling a product, as that’s our official measurement system.

      In Germany, we usually express height in meters and centimeters, like 1 meter 58 or 1 meter 88.

      We don’t even use the same type of imperial either

      If France could just lie for a few years and say that they’re adopting the British system, it might persuade us to finally metricise properly out of spite and I’d be extremely grateful to them

      Most of London The UK uses Miles Per Hour for speed limits. That’s just the biggest example off the top of my head. Your assertion is inaccurate.

      Edit: A weird thing to downvote but ok. It’s more than just London, it’s the whole UK.

            What was not you?

            One person said the UK is using imperial measurements and you responded that this is wrong and showed in an example at the same time, why the original statement would be true
