Do you brits really live in a different universe?

Please, whatever tags you design: Make them usable in more countries
than just the UK. France e.g. has an extensive network of narrow canals
too. They really use meters not feet in most of the world. Either put
"ft" or "m" in every tag or make per country defaults.
