I've heard that the U.K. hasn't fully adopted the metric system, but they're getting there INCH by INCH. Actually, British scientist I've talked with call it angstrom by angstrom (that's not an SI unit, we must use nanometers instead). And we must not use millibars, we must use hectopascals (those units are identical except for the name).
Oil is good, grease is better.
