We're fairly consistent here in the US. Everything is non-metric and stays pretty much as it has since Independence and the writing of the Constitution.
Temp in Fahrenheit. Petrol and propane sold in gallons.
Not really ... a gallon is 8 pints, and a pint is 20 fluid ounces. Get with the programme, guys.
Recipes in cups and spoons.
Ah, now you're talking - of course there's neither a metric nor imperial cup or spoon ...
Distance in yards and miles.
You'd have to prise miles from the UKs cold dead hands 
(And pints. Proper pints, that is)
Firewood sold in cords (I still don't quite know how much a cord is other than 'we'll fill our truck with firewood and dump it on your driveway').
A lot of "imperial" measures in the UK aren't. You can certainly ask for a 2x4. And you will get a "2x4" but in reality it'll have been a bastardised metric size to start with.
As I commented upthread, the metric system has been the system of education since I was at school (and I'm over half a century old now). So anyone who "doesn't get it" really should have paid more attention at school. That said, you can generally get by in imperial, because it's used colloquially. Although it can be a little hard on people who have come here from Europe to ask for a quarter of cheese.
Mysteriously, for all the frothing, I wonder how many people (a) remember and (b) miss old British money. Or do people who set thermostats in Fahrenheit pay for their goods in sixpences ?
