I grew up with metric - I never saw an inch measurement until the age of 10 or 11.
Having said that, I use both. For stuff that needs to be small and precise, I use millimetres. For larger or longer stuff, feet and inches.
How do you guys go with pounds / kg ?
I spent ten minutes today trying to work out whether a 2 and 3/4 lb hammer was heavier than my 1.35kg. It doesn't help when most of the smithin' hammers are made either in the US, or back in the day when imperial was the go.
