That's where so many comparisons fall down :(

But I'm old enough not to think metric in Britain, either. Miles, yards, inches, pounds, ounces, stones - yes, you have to work in bases 12, 16, 14 and 3, but so what? It's *our* way!
(The reasons we don't accept the Euro aren't to do with "not us", it's a bit more complicated than that.)
