England is a strange combination of metric and imperial. Walking is measured in km but driving is miles. Weight of a person is stone and lbs, but of any other object is in kg and g. Height of a person is ft and inches, but of any object is in m, cm or mm. It's very odd
- M2Ys4U 5y ago>Weight of a person is stone and lbs This one is definitely changing. Lots of people here only know their weight in kg now (including me).
- gambiting 5y agoWhen my baby was born about a year ago here in UK I would always say his weight in kg when someone asked, and people would literally stare me blank in the face and say they have no idea if that's a lot or not. Once I converted it to pounds for them they were like "oh yeah, he's a big baby then".
- ksec 5y ago>Lots of people here only know their weight in kg now (including me). Is that with younger generations? Most people I know doesn't have clue about their weight in Kg.
- M2Ys4U 5y agoWell I'm in my early thirties so I'll leave that up to you to decide if that puts me in the "younger generations" bucket
