Dude, Ireland's been metricised for 20 years. While I know inches and
feet to look at, and I know miles reasonably well, I don't know how many
yards are in a mile (because it's some STOOPID number), and weights and
volumes in Imperial are a complete mystery to me. Except pints, which are
still used everywhere.
You can have metric and pints. We do.
