You have an interesting point. As an engineer I much prefer the metric system for all those nasty calculations I used to do. But speed in a car, distances between towns etc. - mph and miles. If I still had a car I’d want to fill up with so many gallons not litres. I buy pints of milk. Very occasionally go to the pub for a pint. If I want a litre of beer I’d go to the Munich Oktoberfest! I have got used to metric measurements for most other supermarket items, so I don’t want to go back to imperial weights for the veggies.
