He used it to get out of the UK...

"Sorry, sir, you're free to go, but before you do, we just need to take a DNA sample..."
Paris because she's probably sampled a bit of DNA... but did she swallow the evidence?

"You order bricks/sand/gravel by the yard.
[snip]... To say the UK is "mostly metric" is utter bollocks. Schools, yes. Science, maybe. Engineering, medicine and real life - no way."
The UK construction industry has been working in metric units since the 70's. Almost everything is supplied in metric sizes - allbeit based loosely on the old imperial dimensions (and those which are supplied in imperial sizes are generally for compatibility with older buildings) :
Bricks: 215 x 65 x 102.5mm
Concrete: m³
Bulk aggregates: tonnes
Bagged aggregate / cement: kg
etc
Timber is generally referred to as the "old" sizes (eg 3 x 2), but it is supplied to metric dimensions and it's not uncommon to ask for 2.4m lengths of 3 x 2...
