Subject: Re:

Snoopy:

It's not confusing for the kids if the parents (like us) teach them both metric and imperial and how to convert easily between them.

And when I went to school we got taught both and how to convert. 2.2 (approx) pounds per kilo and a pound is 454 grams. Same for liquids and measuring height and length.

.... Also it appears when it comes to markets then the rules over weights display is not so rigid. The fruit n' veg and meat stalls still use pounds, no sign of kilos.
