Its a confusing mess here - We went metric late so a lot of people still use imperial - I am 42 and was taught both at school - Most people younger than me where taught metric only - So anyone older than me is imperial and younger than me is metric.

Also we have road signs in MPH and we normally use miles - All produce now has to be marked in metric but most is marked in imperial as well.

Its caused all sorts of issues and even deaths are common - Imagine building a skyscraper when half use imperial and half use metric.
