I'm in my 60's and grew up with inches, feet, yards, miles, pounds and ounces, pints, temperature 98.4, also £, shillings and pence and so on. I still hate grams and litres, and no idea at all about kilometres - I think in miles. When I go to the butcher I ask for a pound of mince and he knows exactly what I mean. Perhaps I'm just refusing to move with the times. Anyone else feel the same?
