Metrication in the UK

Despite the misguided efforts of the media and a few 'libraphiles', the UK has become metricated, except for certain well known exceptions. (The pint is still legal for dispensing draught beer and cider. It can also be used for selling pre-packed milk in returnable containers - bottles to you and me. And of course the mile has survived at least for the time being.) These guidance notes explain the law and how metrication really applies to us.
