They are still QPs, yes. I wonder if they'll change when we finally go metric? I reckon they'll be one of the last things to go, if so. Along with miles....

It might be because we're quite good at calling things by foreign names in the UK. But more likely that we got McDonalds before the rest of Europe (this is a guess btw) and therefore before a name change was deemed necessary.
