It's not quite that straightforward. Metres may be in officiall use, but most people (certainly above theage of 30) think and speak yards. But even the official line is inconsistent: unlike in Canada, the metricrats drew the line at miles, which we still have.

TGD=The Great Divorce. A beautiful book. Anyone who trudged through Screwtape Letters will find it an absolute joy to read.

I am irresistibly reminded of the Simpsons episode when a 20-year old Lisa is off to England to marry a suave Englishman with floppy hair called Hugh - Marge gives parting advice: "Remember that in England an elevator is a lift, a mile is a kilometer and botulism is steak'n'kidney pudding."
