I grew up with Fahrenheit, switched to Celsius and now have to think of just what a Fahrenheit temperature feels like. Must the same with shopping though quite a few stores still show prices in pounds instead of kilograms. Driving is a bit of a no brainer since you just stay at or below the posted speed limit.
After getting used to metric, it is just an easier system to use. Even something as trivial as calculating the weight of an aquarium when it is filled with water is much easier.
