No we don't, at least not me anyway! And most of my friends, we mostly do metric!
I feel quite ashamed of the UK actually. I mean, look at Ireland, its progressing leaps and bounds - they were one of the first places to ban smoking in indoor places (after, I think, NYC) and they have the Euro, and they have banned plastic carrier bags and all the road signs are in km!!!
>I would hate to have Euros as a currency.
Why? I love Euros!!!!! I live in a EuroZone country and its great. Its practically the same as sterling anyway!
