In the UK, we live in this weird hybrid universe, where we are metric but we measure beer in pints, roads in miles and fuel economy in miles per imperial gallon (which is weird because we buy fuel in litres and it is really difficult to convert to litres per 100km). I hears myself say "inch" and didn't want to stop and create yet another cut and edit...
Quite a lot more of imperial measurements still in use in Sweden when you think about it... Inches: loudspeaker elements, LP records, laptops, discettes, hard drives, plumbing, nails, barbecues, jeans, bicycle frames, bicycle chains, bicycle pedals thread, socker balls, cross country skiing poles, viper blades, exhaust piping, round motorcycle lights, brake boosters, RC plane propellers, angle grinder discs, some tools (f.e. sockets even if the socket is in mm, the attachment is in inches like 1/4". Feet: boats, containers. PSI: pressure. HP: engine output. Barrels: oil market.
A useful tutorial. Hug for tug.
Hi Andrew, haven't you gone metric yet? 😁
lol
I don't get away with anything, do I?

Actually, we in Sweden buy tvs and tires by the inch.....
