Are they actually using metric though? Last time I was in London airport I wasn't so sure.

When you ask a British person how much they weigh and they start talking about rocks

Is that an imperial rock or a metric rock?

Imperial boulders

Depends what you're measuring. Also our imperial units are slightly different, and lots have variations depending on what's being measured.
