    I weigh myself in stones and pounds and ingredients for recipes in pounds and ounces, but I buy my potatoes by the kilogram and my meat from the deli counter in grams. Although I'd always ask for a quarter of spice.

    I measure my height in feet and inches, how far I've travelled in miles and my speed in miles per hour, but when measuring anything in the house for DIY I'd always use metres and centimetres.

    I buy milk in litres from the supermarket but pints from the milkman, my beer in pints from the pub but mililitres from the supermarket and I buy my petrol in litres. But I always use fluid ounces in recipes.

    I'm confused. I'm going to watch the Simpsons. On my imperial telly.
