Then we have the US and UK pints, quarts and fluid oz. Here in the USA Coca-Cola is sold in 12 oz cans and 2 Liter bottles. Our medicine is all metric but most food is in oz and pound.

I'm one of the old school and still mainly think in Imperial, it was what I was taught in school many years ago
My weather gadget on my desktop shows the temp in Fahrenheit, I understand that better than Celsius. Another thing you buy eggs by the dozen or ½ dozen, although in Tesco they are either boxes of 10 or ½ dozen.
When it comes to someones weight I think in Stones and pounds, can't imagine the size if they just say they are so many pounds, but if they say they are, say, 9½ stone or 9st 8lbs I know exactly what to picture.
