We have switched everything over officially, but the one people have trouble with is metres and centimetres versus feet and inches. So if the police are looking for someone who is described as, say 165 cm tall, you sometimes see (5' 6") in brackets if it's a newspaper report.
But we are fine with Km/h and Celsius temperatures. The only time Fahrenheit is ever mentioned is where the temperature gets up to or beyond 100 degrees F - it somehow justifies our feeling so hot!
