Well found this elsewhere brought a smile to my face

Never knew Canadian football uses larger footballs. Do they use different size basketballs? I think I had heard of the 110 yard field. Think its 110 yards. Or do they use meters up there?

[m II]

No. They use metres, like the rest of the world.

Liberia and Burma use something besides the metric system. And most of Great Britain uses its system instead of the metric.

[Dave Balderstone]

No we use meters as well. Mostly for electrical and nat gas consumption and billing.

Was up in Canada a couple years back and bought a 12 oz latte. At least some things are still sacred!

I don't drink coffee or any variations of it, but alcohol which I'd consider much more sacred than coffee has all been converted to metric amounts. ~ at least the wine, beer and hard spirits that I buy has been converted.

Pretty much the same here in the states. Wine 7 liquor typically comes in 750 ml bottles. I guess a "fifth" of Scotch is a thing of the past. So now we have booze and car engines measured in metric. The invasion has begun...
