I feel fairly confident in saying that they do not use inches in Europe.
We do in England. (I'm aware this was not caught in England, merely submitting information that might be useful to future travellers)

For example I do not know my height in centimetres, despite being brought up in the metric age. Ditto weight in kg. And we still talk about miles, although I'm more likely to use metres for smaller distances (blame athletics)

I do deal in degrees celsius though.
Just to be difficult.
