Actually we are mostly metric. A few imperial measures live on due to convention (miles) and a couple of things are done both ways. Milk legally has to be labelled in litres (thanks Brussels) but we all know we buy it by the pint. We're a bit schizophrenic about weight. Sometimes Kg and sometimes Lbs.
