Imperial too Please

May I assure you that you are neither aged nor noxious. Imperial units are far superior to the absurd metric replacements. Here in Blighty you can ask someone born years after the UK went metric how tall they are or how far to London and the answer will always be in feet inches or miles. I too think in feet and inches- my foot is a foot long, and I'm six feet tall. I can measure anything using either a foot or a fraser. And I'd like a pound of Steak, not 454 grams. If the Americans can get to the moon using feet and inches it should be good enough for anybody.
I would hope that there is some sort of registry key where this can be specified. I will seek, but maybe someone else has already found?
