The UK is indeed in transition. There are things that have been metric for a long time and people just took it for granted. Then a few years ago things changed and now you get your food in kilos instead of pounds at the supermarket. They have to sell it that way but it is confusing to a lot of people that have shopped in pounds (weight not currency) for their whole lives. For me it is easy once I got it into my head.

Road distances are still done in miles though.
