But, but, but, although 15.5 kph is indeed metric, we always use miles for speed and distances on the road. True we do use metric measurements when it suits us (measuring lengths of wood etc. to cut, colder temperature readings (because 0* C sound colder than 32*F), weights of goods for sale in shops) but we also use imperial such as measuring warmer temperatures (90*C sounds hotter than 32*F), beer measurements (WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER THE PINT!!
) and measuring peoples height. That's the thing about this country, we can mix measurements with impunity as it confuses the foreigners!
