I just bought a new socket set (for car repairs) as I lost my last one.
Half the bits are imperial! What the hell are they selling those for?
My first car was made in 1988, and even that was metric for goodness
sake. I guess half of it's going on freecycle for vintage car owners.

Most people who want a metric set of sockets would buy a metric socket
set.

Are you illiterate?

No, I just expected them all to be metric by now.

That's not very bright of you.

Clearly I'm ahead of the rest of the human race. I know the yanks are stuck with imperial, but I'd have thought the UK would be a bit more modern by now.
