God's little hectare

Today I read the word "acre" is no longer to be used from 2010 in the UK, replaced by "hectare" - which sounds French to me. Anyone have more sayings using the word "acre"? Or other obsolete measurements? I'm a bit sad about this although have become used to buying in kilos and metres
