Yep, we're taught to cut wood using metric in woodworking classes in school, but the lumberyards only sell wood cut in imperial. :lol: Even imported European plywood sheets will be cut in imperial dimensions, with metric thicknesses.

Same thing with cooking class in high schools. Taught in metric, yet later in life many Canadians use imperial because it is the path of least resistance.

We also use square feet for measuring the area of houses we can't afford, even though square meters would be easier for younger Canadians to visualize.

I don't think Canada will be fully converted to metric for at least another 2-3 generations, after the Baby Boomers and their Generation X offspring are long gone. :lol:

It'd be close to impossible to do a British one, because you'd need a pre-GenX filter on pretty much all of it.

And even then, the pre-GenXers often use different units for the same exact thing - such as Farenheit for how warm it is today and Celsius for how cold it is today.

I was born in 1991 and left the island in 2012. I have never in my life heard someone talk about hot weather in fahrenheit. Not my grandparents, not any other old people, nobody.

I am aware of the cliche, I have just never witnessed it apparently being true.

I thought it might be nice to see how the people who run this country might look if they were happy clowns:

Sweet dreams.

My dad absolutely did this (b.1939), and one of my grandparents dealt primarily in F (b.1914) but then she did a lot of baking and F was the default for cooking temperatures. Should have seen her with an oven marked off in C - everything burned.

My dad did this, as do I. I have no idea what freezing in F is, just the same as I have no idea what "warm" is in C. It's apparently 18C here today but, like Vienna, that means nothing to me so I have to "double it and add 30", to get mid 60C, which is nice.

And then you have this completely different scale called 'gas mark', right?
Click to expand...
Certainly right up to the late 80s or early 90s, covering the period in which we saw a huge rise in gas consumption due to oil prices and additional exploration of the North Sea gas fields (pretty much the 60s)... but I've not heard it for a very long time.

Basically "gas mark 1" is the lowest temperature at which you'd ordinarily attempt to cook something and "gas mark 10" is incineration. Gas Mark 5, in the middle, is essentially normal cooking temperature for roast beef.
