For sure. I’m increasingly finding younger people now have think of themselves in metric units - for their height and weight - while I still think in feet and stones for that. So that’s shifting for sure.
For weights and volumes of produce I think most people have shifted to metric. Certainly more so than the personal measurements.
The ones that are’t going anywhere for a long time of course is using miles on our road systems and inches on our (mostly men’s) clothing. That said the EU standard on clothing (for men) is even less logical. Why is a 42 inch chest jacket a size 52???
I’m game for that. Dab hand with a pistol, good at sword and board, and spear, not shabby with paired daggers. No Rifles though, I have to draw a line there, and got told off last time I used one. or two rather, which is why I got told off…
The rule on using metric only applies to volumes and weights. Dimensions aren’t covered. So clothes, televisions etc are fine in inches. The EU system for clothing doesn’t use a metric base anyway - for adults at least. Much as shoes don’t either.
Other interesting exceptions - you can still call a burger a ‘quarter pounder’. Any others?
Lived there my whole life (pretty much), I’m 45 and I was taught metric in school. Most people I know who are my age or younger use metric many of those who are older than myself use metric. It’s useful to know or be able to visualise an Inch but most of the rest of Imperial measurements are anachronisms.
Yes some people use Imperial but nowadays it’s mostly people who were taught in Imperial, people who like to ape Americans or people who want to not be “sheeple” (whatever that means).
