Being in Europe we use metric.
In my work I import a lot of plans from the US, however as the materials list is in Imperial, the materials here are supplied in metric.
Now that "EU type approved" is being moved in and labled on everything, due to a factor of safety when it comes to ocean going vessels in some cases the nearest equivelent is, or will soon be not acceptable. Looks like my purchases from the US will suffer because of it.
