Brits use pounds and miles. Australians use dollars and kilometres. I see no problem.

No I think its that when it was built Australians used pounds and miles, now the international standard is dollars and kilometers.

Then what is it doing online? We don't have room for this non-American stuff - it will clog the tubes!
every cellphone has a converter.. here is your chance to use it.
Just for reference.. in India.. we sometimes use the American counting method (millions, billions) .. and sometimes the native one (lakhs, crores) alternatively.
its easier than the mile/km conversion though.. since 10 lakh = 1 million, 100crore= 1 billion
> £167 per mile ($250/km)
