I’m American and feel like I live in the “in-between” too. I measure people in ft and lbs. I measure wood in ft and inches. I design 3D objects in cm and mm unless I’m building in wood, in which case I’m back to feet and inches. I measure speed in miles per hour. I use tools mostly in metric but sometimes in SAE (depending on where it’s made and what it is).

Yeah that's basically the situation here, too.

Basically it all comes back to the construction trades. If you own a home, and tools to work on it... you're stuck with imperial.
