Although a lot of what bemuses me with the imperial measurements fans is that they never really went away anyway - I'm not old enough to have been taught in anything but metric but I still know my height, weight, bust and waist measurements in imperial not metric, we still buy milk and beer in pints and curtains in inches, and measure long distances in miles and speed in miles per hour... It's like they believe all the crap in the Daily Hate Mail about imperial measurements not being allowed by the EU over the evidence of their own eyes
