The last time I was in a UK builders' yard I hear someone asking for "two meter pieces of two by four". At the time the UK was notionally metric (and the timber was planed to the nearest metric size) but the old names still survived.
Yeah, a 2x4 is still a 2x4 here as well. It's English, even the native speakers don't really expect it to make sense all the time ;)
Cheers, Nick.
