    Rock it like a Brit. Most things in metric except for your height (feet and inches) and your car speed (miles per hour) and when you measure your manhood (inches… Or fractions thereof).

    Also, milk is pints.

    Land is acres.

    And the ponies run furlongs.

      It’s even funnier when you take a look at The Highway Code: distances can be measured in miles, yards, kilometers or meters depending on what type of distance you’re talking about.
