I think like many people my age
I use both systems. I 'get' miles per hour and distances on that scale. Up close and personal I use millimetres. 2/5 of an inch is too much like algebra if I have to add or contract, let alone multiply or divide. Weight, if it is my weight I just use whatever system gives the lowest number, other than that I go by price, as I do with petrol and wine.

what she/he said
I don't really understand km, I don't really understand kilos, but I'm happy with cm, inches, metres, yards, feet, litres, pints. I'm forever thankful that we have decimal currency and my butcher doesn't complain when I order a pound of sausages. Just use what feels, like, good, man!
