The UK uses Celcius not Fahrenheit.

I understand that. Unfortunately, you Britons foisted Miles and
Fahrenheit on us back when we were getting started, and we've been
stuck with them ever since.

I do not wish to upset you but the American Gallon degrees F and

Not quite. The US gall is smaller than the Imp. The gals, now, that's
a different story...

I'm a bit surprised about the degree F, though: thought that was
internationally agreed, though not, of course, SI.
