[QUOTE="lil, post: 166335"] I'm not sure that's quite the same, I'm 22 and by rights I should know metric but my parents obviously exclusively use imperial/English measurements, and so I got used to it too. Now I find it hard to grasp stuff in metric as I find I am constantly comparing things in metric to what it is in imperial to quantify it. I liken a bit to when you go abroad and you work out what the local currency is in your home country's currency (well I do and just about anybody I know does). But I do see your point, but as I see it, I'll always be able to quantify a mile, or 500 yds or 10 fl oz or whatever more than metres and litres personally! (And I am definitely not one to be stuck in my ways) Anyway that's OT! :flower: Vicky [/QUOTE]
