I know that you Queenslanders are a bit behind the times, but this is ridiculous. We've been using Celsius for temperature since 1972!!! I suppose you also talk about rainfall in points and inches too - that's been obsolete since 1974!
I was in primary school at the time of the metric changeover, so I learned Imperial measurements in 3rd class and metric in 4th class. The only Imperial measurement I can relate to now is my height in feet and inches (6'1") but I prefer the metric 184cm. All the other Imperial measurements are gobbledegook to me. (Oh, I'd better be careful, that American who doesn't know the meaning of words might have a hissy fit and think that I eat Vietnamese
