Continental Europeans might have wondered that in GB, US and other remnants of the British Empire the scale units are often different. This might be due to the fact that especially Britons have not quite come to terms with the fact that their times as a predominant power are over and accepting the metric system, or getting rid of some more of their eccentrities, would make their lives and interaction with them easier. But don’t we love the British for their quirks and oddities.
