We still love our old imperial weights and measures.

When I was in grade school they tried that over here as well.... we were switching everything to metric.... I dont remember exactly, but it couldnt have been more than a few years before it was abandoned forever, we just had no real interest in making it happen.

Czuch: i know they teach the metric weight and things in our schools now
ive no idea what they on about,
every food item must display the weight in metric but its upto the stall holder or the shop whether or not they display it in the imperial measures

its actually very confusing while the young only know the metric weights and measures sadly us oldies only know the old system but i guess in 50 years time or less it will be gone for good

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.
