Why does Britain still use miles, pints, feet, inches, and stone? Britain has officially been metric for decades. Schools teach centimetres and kilograms, engineering and manufacturing operate largely in metric, and most packaged goods use metric measurements. Yet British road signs still use miles, people describe their height in feet and inches, body weight is often given in stone, and a pint remains the standard measure for beer and cider. #Britain #MetricSystem #Metrication #ImperialSystem #BritishCulture #BritishHistory #Miles #Pints #BritishBlueprint #Documentary
