Here in Canada we have had metric for about as long as the UK, however not having the EU over here to enforce rules some industries have stayed mostly imperial. The construction industry for example is imperial, using inches and feet in measurements, except for plywood and other sheet goods which is metric, however as we are next to the USA which stayed imperial (The US version of it anyway) our metric plywood corresponds to their imperial thicknesses. This happens with fluids sold in Canada as well. We buy motor oil and other fluids in 946ml containers which correspond to a US quart. Wine however comes in 750ml and 1L bottles.
Odd, I know but it works pretty well and people have adjusted to it.
