Some older people in the UK still prefer Fahrenheit, Celsius is still the official/default unit however.

A politician here recently tried to promote returning the UK to Imperial units, it has gone nowhere so far.

Fun fact: Imperial and USC are different.

Are you serious? That's pretty funny!

It does seem superior for the weather and cooking.

Having the weather between 50-100 instead of 10-40 kind of makes sense.

And for the cooking, having the steak temperature at 130-135 or 135-145 is clearer than 54-57 or 57-63.

Not that I’d think it would make sense to change, but it just seems plain stupid how we like to pretend the imperial system would be inferior and stupid.

The whole world swapped to metric for a reason.
