Woo woo woo there just a minute!!!
I have never in my life been taught imperial measurements whatsoever and the last time I checked I was taught in a school in the UK!!!
Sure some older people dont know how to use metric but due to EU laws, everything has to be done in metric (which is good as I have never been taught anything different)

Yea we use miles but thats it. Weights have been metric for as long as I can remember (I'm 23) but some people (like butchers etc) used to use pounds but now they are illegal and if they use them and dont use metric they can go to jail :eyes: |
