For example, if there was a TV programme in the UK about a group of people aiming to lose weight then they'd refer to weights in st/lbs. If one of a group of -say- eight started to express weight loss in grammes then it would not fit in with the rest of the group.
I guess I'm talking about a 'familiarity' notion.
I realise that doesn't make imperial "better" as a system - only better in my term of "best system to use" in that circumstance.

Hmm
I wonder, can you give an example where metric isn't the best system to use?
