Are there really Britons doing this? I lived there from birth until just shy of my 30th and I've never witnessed it. I've seen plenty of people make fun of Americans for getting the British flag wrong, though, I'm suddenly reminded.

No, not at all. My best guess is that the OP is confused with mainland Europe, who actually do use metric a lot more... the UK uses a mix of imperial and metric.
