Britain uses imperial and metric measurement at
one and the same time. Call in your local
builder's merchant or plumbing fittings supplier
if you doubt this. And for a real joke, look at the
mix of metric and imperial used in passenger car
specifications for UK. You've gone half metric,
and that’s inviting grievous error. Only three
countries in the world "officially" use imperial
measurement: Myanmar (Burma), Liberia, and the
United States. I have every sympathy for green
grocers that want to sell bananas in imperial.
Surely this should placed in the same category as
selling beer in pints; namely providing the
element of local colour. When I was bringing in
grey imports from Japan, I was compelled to
convert the speedometer from km/h to mph.
That's right, from metric to imperial. Isn't lack of
consistency the term I'm reaching for?

There is no way that every single plumber in the United Kingdom just uses imperial.

In actual fact some use both, some use just imperial, some use just metric.....really!

So let us not be too pedantic about the use of inches by every plumber worldwide :-)

I think the metric equivalent should be put in brackets, for what it's worth.

For those of you who believe you know more about the United Kingdom and the Imperial system, this is an email I received this morning from a plumbing/builders' merchant in London when I asked them if they sold metric/imperial plumbers' rulers:-)
