I too am from the UK - a small part of it - called Guernsey !!  In 1940 
I was 'forced' to move to England and later I moved to Glasgow where I 
met my wife and finally after about 12 years we moved to Canada, with 3 
children, in 1962, 40 years ago now!!!!

By the way - when things went metric, tje Brits refused to give up their 
PINT of beer, etc. !!
