You can blame World War II for this one. The US supplied a lot of
hardware and the UK standardized on it. Otherwise, I guess they would
still be using Whitworth standards.

Here's a newbie question... If MGs are british cars, why are all the nuts
bolts etc on these cars standard instead of metric? Were they just being
conciderate to us Americans?
