From wikipedia: "Petrol/gasoline is still sold by the imperial gallon in Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Burma, Grenada, Guyana, Sierra Leone and the United Arab Emirates" Britain still uses miles for road signs, and sells pints, but also sells by litres and kilos.

No. My country, Guatemala uses gallons, yards AND litres, meters as well. Depends on what's being measured. Among other countries in which the Imperial unit system or a derivation of it is used as the main system, we have: United Kingdom Canada Ireland Australia India Malaysia New Zealand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_unit#Current_use_of_imperial_units

1) "Metrication (or metrification) refers to the introduction of the SI metric system as the international standard for physical measurements — a long-term series of independent and systematic conversions from the various separate local systems of weights and measures. Metrication began in France in the 1790s and spread widely during the following two centuries. Based on an old U.S. Metric Association survey it is commonly cited that only the United States of America, Liberia and Burma (Myanmar) have not officially adopted the metric system. But Guyana, for example, has officially adopted the metric system every 3-5 years, on average, since 1981, but each time with little success. Antigua, again 'officially' metric, is only slowly moving toward implementing the metric system. The United Kingdom and Saint Lucia are officially in the process of conversion, although the UK has been granted permanent exemptions by the EU for the mile and yard in road markings, and for the pint for beer and milk. In 2007, the European Commission also announced that it was to abandon the requirement for metric-only labelling on packaged goods, and to allow dual metric-imperial marking to continue indefinitely. Other countries in the former British Empire completed metrication during the second half of the 20th century, the most recent being the Republic of Ireland, which finalised conversion in early 2005 after beginning in the 1970s. The United States and the United Kingdom see active opposition to metrication today, the main objections being based in localism, tradition, cultural aesthetics, economic impact, repeating decimal notation when dividing by some numbers (3,6,7,9 etc), or distaste for measures viewed as "foreign".[citation needed] While other countries, like France and Japan, also had significant popular opposition at one time for similar reasons, metrication is now accepted." "As of 2007, the metric system dominates all but three countries — Burma, Liberia, and the United States — but traditional units are still used in many places and industries." " In the United States the use of the metric system was made legal as a system of measurement in 1866 and the United States was a founding member of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in 1875. The system was officially adopted by the federal government in 1975 for use in the military and government agencies. In 1985, the metric system was made the preferred (but predominantly voluntary) system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce (see Metrication in the United States). It has remained voluntary for federal and state road signage to use metric units, despite attempts in the 1990s to make it a requirement. A 1992 amendment to the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA), which took effect in 1994, required labels on federally regulated "consumer commodities" to include both metric and U.S. customary units."

The customary units in use there are historically derived from units which were in use in England at the time of settlement. The measurements of most of these units in England itself were subsequently changed."

G'day Snakelover, Thank you for your question. The United States still uses those units officially. Other countries such as Canada and the UK have officially switched to the metric or SI system but imperial units such as miles and pounds are still widely used. Indeed, the European Union has granted dispensation to the UK to use some units. I have attached sources for your reference. Regards Wikipedia Imperial system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_system UNC http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/metric.html

No! What do you think England uses? England and the rest of the UK are nominally metric, because they have joined the EU, but most people here still use imperial: -distances are still in miles, including the speedo on cars, and height clearances are in feet - alcohol and milk still comes in pints -if you go to a market you only hear people asking for a 'pound of potatoes' or 'a quarter of ham' not in metric -very few Brits could tell you their weight in metric, only in stone and pounds -the same goes for height - if you asked someone British how tall they are, they would tell you in feet and inches. The metric system is taught in schools, but in 'real life' imperial tends to be used. The British are in general very against conversion to metric. Shopkeepers were forced to buy scales several years ago that showed weights in kilos and grammes, and market stallholders etc have to display prices per metric weight (though they can display imperial alongside). It has been a huge controversy in the UK. The 'metric martyrs' were shopkeepers who refused to convert to metric and were fined etc for it. As someone who worked selling fruit and veg in a shop at the time when selling in metric became compulsory, I can tell you that at least in the North of England, NO customers EVER asked for anything in metric, always imperial. Most sellers now show prices per weight in both, and do the conversion themselves when people ask for stuff in imperial. As someone in their twenties, I am absolutely clueless as to how much 500g is. In fact for some measurements like miles, the UK has been given a special dispensation to keep on using them legally from the EU.
