 Nothing wrong with our stupid system, it works fine.  It's all about 
reference.  I mark off pad, if I need to cut and carry to another 
room, by paces or my own feet.  Some things are cumbersome to 
use cm or m but feet works nicely.  When it's reference it doesn't 
matter if it's inches, liters, a pinch, or furlongs per fortnight.  When 
I calculate across dimensions so to speak, I use or convert to 
metric.  Metric is for scientific calculation.  (Beats ergs and such 
but I do like ft/lbs over Nm or that other one.)  When you're saying 
this guy was about "so tall" hands might be the measure of choice 
if you're a jockey!  :-)
