Lol. No apologies necessary, that was fake offense-taking there. :-))

And you're right to say "apparently" mistaken because we *have* gone metric. Sort of. But we've gone to great lengths to do so in a British on-our-own-terms kind of weigh. Which is to say that we keep the miles but use metres and centimetres - except for people's heights which are in feet and inches if you prefer. We now have litres instead of gallons but you can still buy pints of milk and beer. And you can buy a pound of apples and a kilogram of sugar. Plenty of packaged foods come as 300g, 800g, etc. but some weigh exactly a pound and are labelled as 454g.
