brilliant news, i can order a pint of bitter and a pint of shandy instead of a pint of bitter and a large shandy
In Oz, we seem to have undergone a process of "Re-Imperialisation by stealth".
If I want to buy a "Pint" of Beer, I will travel to the "Old Dart"---- Oz beer was served by the "Pot", "Schooner", "Middy" or "Glass".
Such measures were so imbedded in the Australian psyche, that the Metrication Board even turned out a chart, specifying the quantities in Metric measures.
yet the states all disagreeing on the names:

Plenty of themed places selling metric beers in 1l/500ml units.
I've never heard of "shetland" or "bobbie/six" in WA (maybe made up by the contributor to Wiki?).
Way back, our "middy" was a different size to the container of that name in other States, & was "brought into line" with theirs, much to the disgust of many in WA-----this was well before Metrication.
Maybe some other States may have kept their original drink sizes, but "pints" seem to have been all-conquering in WA.
Interestingly, in my several later visits (post 2000) to Sydney & Melbourne, I never bought a beer, so my recent experience is all WA.
Another place where I would argue that there has been a resurgence of Imperial measures is in hardware supplies.
If you want to buy a few galvanised bolts in Bunnings, there are shelf after shelf of Imperial ones, but only a few of their Metric counterparts.
I put it down to India, which is a huge (& very inexpensive) supplier of such hardware, being still largely Imperial.
Of course, for most home projects it doesn't much matter.
