If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Yes, it’s a right bugger’s muddle of units but it doesn’t really matter - ‘it just works’ (unlike Apple products these days!).

In the U.K. we should use miles per litre for gauging car fuel consumption.

Didn’t think Russia used metres for altitude anymore?

Below transition they still do, or did they change that as well? Oh, and QFE, which is a right bugger anyway.
