Okay, but what do they teach in the schools today?

[McMouse]

Metric in schools

[society]

Usually the metric system but some still do teach both metric and imperial.

I'm only 31 so should really be more kilos and such but it's always been stones for me.

I was weighed at the hospital and my doctor's surgery this week, both used the metric measurements.

In school they teach us both metric and imperial units.

Stones - the schools were starting to change to metric when I left - I don't find weight too much of a hassle to convert, but when you're asked for your height in metres I have to think quite hard to change it over. There was something on TV the other night about decimilization and I found that I had totally forgotten the old monetary system.

Thanks to all for their answers. Now I am a little bit more in the know.
