I guess also bike wheel sizes, screens sizes. Height and body waist? Are you talking about the UK? Europe only uses inches for products that have certain expected sizes.

(may be a bit of an off topic rant)

The cluster fuck that is the UK's measurement system can be easily summarised by looking at fueling a car.

You fill your car from a pump that sells you litres of fuel. Then your car reports its fuel economy in miles per gallon.

How the fuck am I supposed to relate the 40 litres of diesel that I just bought to the 35 MPG on my dashboard without a fucking calculator?

I fucking hate it here. It's the exact same British exceptionalism that brought us fucking Brexit.

Is that Imperial or US Gallons? 😉
