Fabricator Chamber Liters Conversion

Can I just chime in to say that while us Brits may have adopted metric we still routinely use:
ounce, pound, stone, ton
pint, gallon
inch, foot, yard, mile

Ask me how far something is and you get the answer in miles, I know my height in feet and inches (no clue in metric)
I know my weight in stones and pounds (no clue in metric), I go to the pub for a pint...

And, do you use Horsepower (Imperial Electrical) or Watts (SI)?

 

[Sigtrygg]

For cars - horsepower makes more sense to me.
For electric stuff, watts (cos volts x amps)
For energy in food, calories - for anything else joules.

 

[Condottiere]

Poniipower.

Say, was there ever a declared winner in the MKS v. CGS war?

And in computing, do you use GB (Gigabyte) to mean either 1000 cubed or 1024 cubed? Where 1024 is 2 to the power of 10 = 1 KB (Kilobyte).
