After 61 years the imperial scales have immediate impact.
I know exactly how hot 65f feels the same as I know how long a yard is. I grew up with LSD, pounds shillings and pence. Twelve pennies, or twenty four half pennies to a shilling. Twenty shillings to a pound. Plus we had three penny pieces, sixpence pieces, florins, which were two shillings and half crowns which were worth thirty pennies or two and a half shillings (2/6d). It was all so easy. Posh shops sold in guineas which were worth one pound and one shilling. On top of that for measurements we have feet and inches, yards furlongs perches poles and rods not to mention acres.So copeing with something as simple as fahrenheit was easy.
