    I’d love to know where the free parking thing cane from. I distinctly remember not doing that as a kid but then suddenly I don’t know why in my teens(I think) it appeared in a way like it was not doing it was incorrect.

    Never heard of the pass go thing though.

    I’m starting to hear people talk in km but nothing official

    We use lb and stone at home for weight but medical its kg

    Personally I was taught in the 80s and early 90s they trued to teach us both metric and imperial. I also did an apprenticeship in metric on imperial lathes and mills

    I have no clue how less than an inch works past 40, thou being 1mm I struggle with my weight in kg. Miles might as well be a unit of time as beyond telling you how long it takes to get somewhere miles are useless

    Bonus anecdot

    When I moved out of my parents I had to ask for help buying minced beef because growing up I learned I needed 1/2 lb of minced beef but it was packaged I’m 500 grams
