This is true, I have friends 10 years younger than me who were never taught imperial units at school. These people are in their early 20s now, give it another decade or so and they'll start to be the people making decisions. We'll finally be able to rid ourselves of the anachronism of imperial measurements.

At senior school in the early 2000s, I was taught both metric and imperial and how to convert between them. But I have some friends who are 10 years younger than me (I'm 32, they're 22) who were never taught imperial at school. Neither knew what a 'yard' was.. probably because neither of them drive. At least things are changing!
