Take England as an example.

England is supposed to be a metricised country yet they still use 'miles' not kilometres, and 'Pints' not litres.
The UK only recently changed to metric. It's gonna take them to fully get the hang of it, just as we did. I was the 1st generation to be brought with the metric system, being born the year after we converted. Metric was the only thing I was taught in school. Yet when I would go parents an older people would using metric, an still do some what.
The UK will need time too.

On the pint thing, I think I will to the pub for a pint is always gonna sound better than, I going to the pub for a 600ml.lol
