Metric only measuring tools?

I'm so vexed that DIY measuring tools still have both metric and imperial measures! It's so annoying to be measuring and find that the 'convenient' way around means you are suddently looking at 1/32nds of an inch.
How long ago did the UK convert to metric:mad:?
Can anyone recommend a supplier of tools where both sides/edges of all measures are in metric?

The UK like our US cousins are "inching" towards metrication.
But we beat them to it by miles
Sorry couldn't resist it.
