In Ireland and Britain it's short scale. Used to be long scale though.

I prefer Short-scale myself. Fits in better with the SI prefixes, which change every 10^3.

The map in the article is informative. The only parts that use long scale are mainland Europe (Excluding former USSR, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece) and Latin America (except Brazil) and France's former African colonies.
