It's a messed up system when you buy fuel in Ltr, and think of milage in mpg. Or food in gramms but your body weight in stone, tyres in inch diameter and mm width.
Interestingly though the distance signs for juncions on many roads in Belgium are 1600m 800m and 400m or 1 mile, 1/2 mile and 1/4 mile. And trains pass on the left as they should.
