I think the BBC policy is to provide every measurement in both types of unit.
Ordering is inconsistent.
They use MPH in the UK.
Their hours are pegged to the hogshead, and are about 3 seconds shorter than American hours.
The US use of units is worse than the UK.
Said from a proudly metric country, New Zealand, where everyone knows their weight in kilograms and height in feet and inches.
at least it's not stones
The metric system is the tool of the Devil! My Tesla gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it!
Is it also their policy to botch the significant digits? 300 mph is obviously a crude estimate. Converting to 483 km/h implies an unreasonable degree of precision.
