Height of people: feet and inches (though I am reasonably fast at converting to cms now) Small distances: centimetres Other distances: kilometres but: Quilting & piecing: inches Buying fabric: metres (believe me, working out fabric requirements from a pattern is not easy at times)
Weights: kilos and grams, exclusively Volumes: litres / mls, exclusively
Temperature: Celsius, exclusively - which means I always have a conversion chart handy for translating recipes that have oven temperatures in Fahrenheit. I still have no idea how to work out "Gas Mark 4" or what have you.
