You got it. Specifically, temperatures are in degrees Celsius: C = (F-32)*5/9. In reverse, F=C*9/5 + 32. The imperial gallon is larger than the US gallon. I believe the difference comes down to the different in a hundredweight. In Britain, one hundredweight (cwt) = 112 pounds (lbs). In the US, a hundredweight is 100 pounds.
I just asked my wife about this. Several years ago, Britain was forced to adopt the metric system. Indeed, it's now illegal for stores to sell things in pounds and ounces (such is the power of Europe). Instead, everything must be in grams and kilos. So, forget cups and the like: All measurements in Britain are in metric units: grams, kilos, litres, and so on.
