RafaBritian and the United States still use the English Measuring system.
=========================================
-- The two countries that still use the English system of weights and measures
are the USA, Myanmar (Burma), and Liberia.
-- There is nothing standard about that system, except in those two countries.
If by "English" you mean the original system of inches/feet/yards and so on, the US is probably the highest profile, if not the only country still using it. Most of the modern world, including England, is now on the metric system. Attached is a collection of measurement converters that may be helpful.
