We still use Imperial measurement in our workshop too, only because it would cost a fortune to replace all the gauging to check components.
Ahh, but we are not alone.Coggy said:Everyone else uses metric

Virtually the entire Oil Industry, namely exploration, recovery, production, engineering etc, uses imperial measurment - globally. (don't know about the retail end - Roxxo probaby would).
I work in the maritime oil industry and measurment has been all metric since the early seventies, Litres natural, Litres at 15C and Metric Tonnes, except for crude oil handled by American companies which is measured in Barrels (Bbls), US Gallons and Long tons.R2B2 said:Ahh, but we are not alone.

Blimey - API still rools everwhere (afaik) up at the dirty end, especially pipe.roXXo said:all metrric, as are pipe diameter, thickness and length.
