I remember doing everything Imperial until about second year at Grammar School (1971), when we started to learn Metric. Not SI units mind! Oh no, we initially started off with everything in between. Decilitres?

Then I swapped schools (late 60's) and that was the end of it. Only time since that imperial has crept into school (as a teacher) was ºF in US You Tube videos.
