I remember having to learn all sorts of multi base tables for measurements up to the age of 7. 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.

And then the issues around converting from F to C then to Gas mark. I remembered that 360F was gas mark 4. But I hadn't used a gas oven since before we used C. And another has a recipe that called for a 'moderate' oven. I knew as a child that a moderate oven is 360F and therefore gas mark 4 because that is the temperature for making a Victoria sponge.
