I am in feet and inches and in pounds and ounces- doesn't cause me any difficulty.

We still tend to mix and match, Recipes, for example, show both types of measurement. Our road distances are given in miles. Bottled water from the region I imagine you live in is shown in litres. You’ll have to do a bit of adapting, Evianers!

Presumably when the rest of us want them to. My lounge is 23' square which I can envisage. No idea what that is in meters but it wouldn't feel the same.

That's not to say that I can't work in metric measurements generally, I can.

Nope.

I'm inclined to use both.

Perhaps when we are out of the EU we should go back to our non-European ways of measuring and weighing.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! We are thinking of relocating back to UK after 44 years of absence. When are the estate agents going to finally enter the 21st century kicking and screaming by actually no longer using such dimensions as, 18 feet, 19 and three quarter inches? Didn't these go out with the Ark?
