UK is shown as "mixed".  That's for sure.  Instead of calling it O scale or O gauge, or 1:48/1:45/1:43.5/1:43, they call it 7mm to the foot (except when they don't).  Took me forever to figure that out.  Why would anyone express a scale as a ratio of metric to imperial?  Of course, it's from the same folks who choose to use 1:148 for N scale and run standard gauge 1:76 models on HO track, which ends up being narrow gauge.

Crazy!  That goes along with what we see on British television.  Sometimes it’s miles, sometimes it’s kilometers.  Another thing, British drive on the opposite side of the road as Americans.  I can never get used to seeing that on television.  Fortunately the sum total of my international travel has been to Niagara Falls long before we needed a passport.
