I was surprised the first time I visited the UK and saw all the speed limit and distances in MPG and miles. I do think the gallon is different to a US gallon though?

Our fuel shortage miraculously disappeared once the press stopped reporting it and people stopped panic buying. Evidently it wasn’t anything to do with a lack of truck drivers!

Come on over, we have the room. Bill Davison, former Royal Marine, came over here and started the Tac Pro Shooting Center. He told us that y'all's politics were the primary reason.
You’re making me interested too! I like the enormous space and a fair bit of shooting.

This country is going to hell in a handcart! I have read that U.K. is supposed to be ditching metric, not that we ever use metric of course! I started my apprenticeship on 1st. September 1970 and the college lecturer told us “you will never use Imperial measurements again” What a joke that was! It cost U.K. a fortune to leave pounds, shillings and pence behind and if that bunch of lunatics led by Boris the Liar wants to go back, then I will emigrate unless Wales declares independence!
As long as the Independence Declaration is in English in sure we would take the time to look at it.
