Hi Phil,

Imperial = 'English', so no conversion required.

Now that might be a bit lost on a country that opted out of the British Commonwealth in 1776, and modified the Imperial measures just a bit to make things confusing (1 ton = 2,000 pounds, for example, whereas a real, Imperial ton is still 2,240 pounds) .... all tongue in cheek, of course, but there are some odd differences that still puzzle me as to 'why?'
