I love the metric system. I think it's great and easy to use. So why do I still say I need to lose a stone. And not 6 kg

I had to Google that as well.
I think metric is great. Easy to calculate with. But it's just ingrained to use stones and fraction of a stone for weight (when talking about body weight) and feet and inches for height.

But I use Kg and cm / metres for other stuff. And I just use miles for distance. But not yards.

Anyone else like this? A metric fan but still uses some Imperial and just in some circumstances?

I've been living outside the UK for over a decade and I still can't remember how tall I am in centimetres. 😣
