I still don't know whats the "official" temperature scale - F or C.
In the same paper, I would see the weather map with C, but the title with F (heatwave of xx F). Or the reverse, or both.
Or in the same shop you can buy milk in liters, or in pints.
The others are a fairer point, although we do actually sell liquids in litres or millilitres, but for some things it just happens to be some multiple of 568..
Weight is KG, unless it's a person, in which case it's Stones and Pounds.
Distance is fun, It's Miles on journeys, but metric for everything else, unless you're talking about people's height, then it's feet and inches.
It sounds confusing, but when you live here it's not something you really have to think about, you just switch rather effortlessly.

Temperature measurement in the UK is measured in Celcius, Fahrenheit is not a thing here.
When it's cold they can instead say the temperatures have plummeted below zero (C).
They just use whatever adds the most drama.
