I prefer using Centimetres and metres, but for height and shit we are still required to measure in feet and inches.
CURSE YOU, BLAIR!!!

87% of my school hasn't even heard about Metric measurements. And um, I think I'm around 5'7" or 5'8" or something. But compared to most of my family, I'm huge.

Metrics when you think about it are alot easier than our system (I don't even know what it's called, lol) But I hate converting between the two...

Metric units are way cooler than Imperial units. Imperial units are nonsense; 12 inches to a foot? 12?!? Then you have the more ridiculous ones like miles and stuff. Why do all the old people moan about metric when it's so freakin' simple? 10mm=1cm 100cm=m 1000m=1km and so on... Also, old people complain about metric currency, which works in exactly the same fashion (i.e. 100p = £1) when they would rather use shillings and other stupid coins. Old people belong in homes!!!

Over in England, do you prefer the metric system or using feet and inches and miles and such. We British didn't fight Napoleon for nothing! To hell with the Metric system!!!

I agree with Alex, the Metric system is an easier system. How are Imperial units easier than Metric units?

Yeah, I had maths revision after school. I can honestly say that anybody doing the higher level paper in our class who didn't attend (so everybody save me and Neil) is really, REALLY fucked.
