Do children in the UK get taught any Imperial weights and measures?

I ask this because we still buy pints and we still travel in miles.

Do children in the UK get taught any Imperial weights and measures?
Kids get taught metric - no imperial ....... not in the KS3 sylabus!





We still use the imperial system as well as the metric as we are British and that's what we do :)





All items for sale are in metric but for athetics they are still the same size/shape as the imperial items (otherwise producers would only make items smaller to be 500ml, rather than 564ml).


Cars also have KM but it's a British thing again as to why we still have MPH road signs!
Reply:I was taught metric and imperial at school (in UK), and how to convert between the two.
Reply:metric
Reply:forget the states, they don't even have a proper gallon. or a proper president.


we need to get our act together in the uk, and get rid of pints and miles, the kids will be confused, they have to learn both
Reply:I only got taught metric and that was 16 years ago.
