Re: have you grown up to be semi-metric?
I tend to find that I measure lengths/widths using metric probably because centimeters and millimeters give a shade more accuracy. However, for weighing things then it's back to Imperial as I find that easiest. If I go to the US I find it quite comforting that weights on packets/jars etc are in Imperial as well as metric as it makes it nice and easy to work things out. Occasionally I will even find myself referring to a 5p as a shilling which confuses my wife who was born post decimalisation no end and makes kids look at me like I'm some kind of old fogey
