from 2004, I guess "pc" was still more buzzword/lip-service than reality (or even law in some places) back then.

Eh? You might be thinking of the US where football is called soccer and what they call football is a bit like rugby but with loads of fuss, body armour and drugs.
A gallon is a gallon.. what else would it be? Again, the US has gallons too and on paper it's equal (four quarts in a gallon, therefore 8 pints). The US has a different measure for pints and fluid ounces though, that's where they cocked up.
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

If the US version is "cocked up", how come it's you Brits that are abandoning your version for that pansy metric system?

I was going to post something crude, like "they'd cut off another if it weren't so hard to find", but I thought I'd avoid the inevitable followups.

We use both (although it looks like they're trying to remove all traces of imperial measurements in schools these days, but we've never used the US system).
Our main defender of imperial measurements is beer (we all know that you can always depend on beer! ).. Don't ever try short changing us with half a litre, we want our full 568ml or else! 
It is weird I guess when we mix systems up - I prefer miles for distance, stone and lbs for weight, grams, pints and ml for cooking (depending how small the measurement is). I can switch between them reasonably easily. Miles per gallon is a pretty standard unit for efficiency, I just can't get used to litres/km, that really does seem weird.
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Except you did; and we used to use a gallon almost the same size as yours. 
Back in the 18th century both gallons were used on either side of the pond.
At some point after the unpleasantness in the 1770s and 1780s the US standardized on the 128 ounce wine gallon. In the early 19th century the UK contracted a bad case of French-envy and twiddled the size of the ounce in the 160 ounce ale gallon by a percent or two so that a gallon of water weighed exactly 10 pounds and renamed it the imperial gallon. 
PS I've never been able to find anything credible on why the US picked the wine gallon. If any of you internet sleuths can succeed where I've failed, please post here to let me know.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

soccer is a form of football: the proper names are "association football" or "soccer."
American football is a form of football: proper names are "American football" or "gridiron."
football is used regionally as a shortened form, Australia have 4 forms of football. (Usually aussies call it "footy" because apart from not being very clever including with naming stuff they also have difficulty with words that have over 1.5 sylables.)

We call football "footie" in the UK too.. it's a trait of native English speakers that we like words to be as short as we can get them.. more time to fit a beer in then
Most of the world (i.e. practically everyone outside the US) call "soccer" football, hence organisations like the FA, FIFA, UEFA, etc..

Not in the Antipodes
btw, FIFA, UEFA, and the "A" stands for: tah-dah - "Association" ... their "football" is according to their "association."
And once more commonly it's called "football," but properly named it's "Association Football" or "Soccer." (but really that's just for the pedants )
