I grew up with a mix of metric and imperial (like most people in the UK), but the imperial conversions are all really weird and hard to remember -- 1760 yards to the mile?? For me it's easier to remember "a yard is a little less than a meter" and "a mile is about 1⅔ km", and then use the most natural metric unit for figuring out estimates.
