You do not get to make jokes about imperial vs metric measurements while still clinging to MPH nation wide. The rest of the world thinks you’re fucking stupid.
Further, the majority of the world walks and drives on the right. Figure it out.
Finally the 2nd floor of a building is floor 2. Not floor 1. This is not even up for debate, nobody agrees with the UK on this absurdity.
Dear all of of the United Kingdom:

This has been a public service announcement.
Australia mostly follows the Brits with regards to floor numbering.
Some organisations follow the US standard, e.g. ANU: https://services.anu.edu.au/financial-management/assets/numbering-of-floors-and-rooms-in-new-buildings
But mostly we follow the Brits. Except for a heap of weird buildings on slopes, etc. where the ground floor is actually Floor 2 or something else…
Plus pints, weighing in stones and don’t forget about the Metric Martyrs
