Yeah, my reasoning was similar - a person can be imperial, although these days of democracy that's quite rare, but metric? nah. I suppose whoever it was that got their arm to become the standard cubit was metric. And there's something measured by the pace or foot-length of Heracles, but that was all a long time ago. I'll just stop wittering now.
