Are they actually using metric though? Last time I was in London airport I wasn't so sure.
When you ask a British person how much they weigh and they start talking about rocks
Is that an imperial rock or a metric rock?
Imperial boulders
A large boulder the size of a small boulder.
... is completely blocking east-bound lane Highway 145 mm78 at Silverpark Rd. Please use caution and watch for emergency vehicles in that area.
Depends what you're measuring. Also our imperial units are slightly different, and lots have variations depending on what's being measured.
Get britished
It's less of an imperial system, and more of an imperial suggestion
At least our pints are bigger.
