As per thread title.

If you were buying carpet would it be £30 sq yard (in your mind) or metres?

Buying some wood?......2 metres or 6 ft.

Would you think of yourself as 6ft tall or i80cm?

Petrol.......1 gallon or 4.5 litres?

I expect the younger PH'ers think in metric, but have to look at road signs in miles, not kilometres.......(in the UK)

Well I'm 61 and don't like metric at all, but I am a bit of a luddite tbh.. I suppose I'll get used to it one day....

In fact I've just bought some timber today from the local yard, and the sign over the door says "We talk feet and inches here"...biggrin
