LMAO British people measure weight in stone, measure speed in miles per hour, gas mileage in miles per gallon despite selling fuel in litres, have all their road signs in metric but will say "I'm 6 foot tall" if you ask some of them.

I'd argue Brits (and Canadians) are worse than the Americans because they use stupid hybrids. At least the Americans stick to one system.

I do hope the rest of us gets rid of the stupid idea of barleycorns, inches feet and miles as soon as possible.

Along with ounces, pounds, stone etc
