My previous scant research confimed that Imperial system was still very much in use in Great Britain and elsewhere.
Below is an excerpt from the Post & Email. Go to their site to read full article.

From todays Post & Email:

“IMPERIAL METRIC SYSTEM” IS STILL PERMITTED IN GREAT BRITAIN
by Sharon Rondeau

(Jul. 20, 2011) — On July 19, 2011,

Lucas Daniel Smith contacted The Post & Email in response to our interview of a person who stated that he had information regarding Obama’s alleged birth record in Kenya. The interviewee had stated that he believed that the document exhibited by Smith in 2009 ....was “totally bogus…because Kenya ... was under British ... and when Obama was born, ...his birth record would have been given in metric measurements: height, weight, etc.”

Smith stated that that ... is incorrect, and that Kenya,... used the measurements of “pounds” and “yards” until the mid-to-late 1960s.
