I hear ya, I'm the absolute opposite.

It's worse with fuel economy for a car... as you lot say "miles per gallon", you'd think the imperial would be "km per litre", well, no you got to add that extra bith of mathS in there and say "litres per 100km" for fuel economy

But come on, this Imperial measurement bullshit is nonsense - a cup of sugar.... what, a big cup or a small cup? A pound of beef - dudes, Shakespear is well dead!

There is no logic to imperial scales, get with metric!
