even England managed.
Not very well - although imperial is pretty much extinct in science and engineering, I'm afraid we still "officially" use miles for journey distances and mph for car speedometers (I guess nobody wants to replace all the signs) petrol is sold by the litre, but people still quote fuel consumption in miles per gallon) and many conservative types unofficially cling to other imperial measures when ordering their potato's (apostrophe abuse intentional).
Of course, that said, selling ale by any other measure than a pint is an abomination.

Assuming that we're talking real pints, and not undersized US pints, of course. 550ml is not too far off and is a fairly common 'metric pint'. It's about 3% smaller, but you can probably spill 3% trying to carry the round back to your table in a proper pint...

With metric you can order a liter. Bonus is your typing sticks get some weight-lifting practice.
