Well considering all road signs are still in miles and we drink pints, you would have to say yes to some extent.

From my schooldays I also recall the "Rod, Pole or Perch", looking it up now for clarification I see it described by wiki as:
[I]The rod, perch, or pole (sometimes also lug) is a surveyor's tool[1] and unit of length of various historical definitions, often between approximately 3 and 8 meters (9 ft 10 in and 26 ft 2 in). In modern US customary units it is defined as 16+1⁄2 US survey feet, equal to exactly 1⁄320 of a surveyor's mile, or a quarter of a surveyor's chain (5+1⁄2 yards), and is approximately 5.0292 meters. The rod is useful as a unit of length because whole number multiples of it can form one acre of square measure (area). The 'perfect acre'[2] is a rectangular area of 43,560 square feet, bounded by sides 660 feet (a furlong) long and 66 feet wide (220 yards by 22 yards) or, equivalently, 40 rods and 4 rods. An acre is therefore 160 square rods or 10 square chains./I]
Maybe metrication isn't so bad after all!
Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
When my diary is too raunchy to read I calm myself down by looking at the Weights and Measures page.
On the left under UK Imperial Units I can read that there are 4 pecks to a bushel and 8 bushels to a quarter but on the right under Metric Units see nothing other than a 1 or a 0.
Order and tranquility.

For those that only understand miles and feet, I have done the hard conversions for you 😁.
On the gravel bike today did some hard uphill. 10.5 miles for 1755 feet.

As my achilles is already playing me up following a 3 mile slow jog on near flat there's more bike hill work.
Out for short ride before dark at local MTB forest tracks, 11.5 miles and 1600ft, had a PB on a climb that pushed me up to 2nd on my age category for the SAGA segment. A solid 11 minute climb but need to find another minute faster in next 3 weeks - before I go up an age bracket!
