The imperial system is fine as long as people have a choice.
Inevitably though I feel like the UK populace will probably trend towards metric seeing as that's what's largely taught in schools. Besides which I think it's about time we started to wriggle out of this period of transition anyway. Terms like "go for a pint" will probably persist seeing as it's a cultural practice, but most likely won't be questioned and just accepted as another phrase in British society.
The whole thing is just a brain worm planted by Boris to distract from other things, and it’s worked excellently.
What I would give to be able to say you were wrong without being wilfully ignorant.
Conversely I expect milk to be sold in litres as it is in most corner shops. Why supermarkets persist with pints baffles me.
One of my local supermarkets used to sell milk in six pints with 3.409 litres labelled alongside it.
As they should be. It would be irresponsible (to be mild) to expect a driver to switch between units.
I'm pretty sure Eurostar drivers had to do this very thing in the days before terminating at St. Pancras. Granted the speed-o-meter was digital and probably switched upon changing signalling systems, but regardless it never seemed to be a huge issue for them so I don't see why a little bit of a conversion sheet couldn't be given to drivers in any case of converting speed units (ie. 25mph = 40km/h and 100mph = 160km/h).
