Nope nothing's changed.  Still metric, and primarily relative to
millimeters.

No.
Unless things have changed recently, UK adopted the metric system in
1971.
Your 1/4" = 1'-0 scale is close to a 1 in 50mm scale.
Also, the pipe dias are 25mm, 32mm, 40mm etc to correspond with 1", 1
1/4", 1 1/2"

The measurement is in millimeters.

Hello Everyone,

Are plans drawn in the UK using 1/4" = 1' ?

I had this question asked of me and, by-golly, I found myself scratching
my head.

Regards
