This thread is 2 years old... but you do realise the English use the imperial system right? Who'd you think the yanks got it from? Now excuse me whilst I have a pint, or 568ml of lager. ;)
That's a bit disingenuous, the U.K. is stuck in some limbo state where both systems are used to varying degrees. For instance, if you checked the weather before you went to the pub you'd find it's 13C out.
