> Measures are much more common in inches, foot and miles than metric. I think this is partially true, particularly with the older generation. People often talk about their height in feet and inches, and their weight in stone and pounds. > Volumes are much more common in cups, gallons, pints than metric. Weights are more common in pounds and ounces than metric. Your experience seems to be very different to mine. To be honest I have no idea what a gallon even is, and no intuitive concept of an ounce. The only place I have ever seen measurements in "cups" is one chicken biryani recipe I found on an American website. (I agree it's bizarre: half a cup of mint leaves - wtf?!). Any recipe published in the UK in the last couple of decades tends to be in grams and millilitres.
