Imperial Units

On the BBC today they were talking about the amount of shampoo nicked from hotels. It was 430,000 gallons in a year.

Why do they persist in using Imperial units.

It’s nearly 2,000,000 litres which sounds a lot better. Or 2,000 tonnes! With water 1,000 litres weighs a tonne. So much simpler! A tonne is nearly a ton!
