Hi there! I’m a Brit who uses metric and gets annoyed by the fact that everyone around me uses Imperial measurements for things like height and weight! When I lost weight a few years ago, I’d proudly proclaim my losses in kilograms and would just get blank stares from friends and family who still use stones and pounds…
In my lifetime (I’m 31), I’ve seen metric become increasingly common for things like recipes. I remember my mum’s cookbooks were either imperial only or listed grams in brackets as a secondary measurement. As a teen, I was given recipe books which listed metric first and then imperial in brackets. Now I buy recipe books which only list metric. To my great delight, the metric system appears to be taking over, at least in some areas.
I don’t know anyone who uses yards, but conversely we all use miles (although I measure my runs in kilometres!). Like many things in the UK, we’re full of contradictions and it’s both ridiculous and frustrating!
