You're in the UK.... You're metric haha
Agreed with audio warfare, I don't think I measure anything in metric. Stones, lbs, Feet and Inches all the way!
Metric is rubbish! If you go up to alot of people in the street and tell them you have a mate who is 1 metre 65cm tall, a fair few would have no idea if thats tall or short. Say you have a friend who is 6ft 4in for example, everyone in the country would know that thats tall.
Same for weight, everyone understands stones and lbs, not many people will know their own weight in kilos
(UK = The world, I guess...)
Swedes use the metric system and we are tought with it and we understand it like you understand stones, lbs and feet etc. etc.
BTW: 1 m and 65 cm is "normal" as a woman and kinda short as a man :d

What the ****?
Regarding metric/imperial, each has its uses. For distances, I'm more familiar with metric but I'm good enough at maths and memorised enough conversions for neither to bother me. Heights, imperial all the way, whether it be height of a person or a plane (skydiving always uses imperial). Weights, metric. Don't like imperial. I think a stone is 7 lbs - which is just ****ed, in all honesty. Other units of measurement, metric, just coz I'm used to them.
