When I was at school, over 20 years ago, I was taught that cubic metres 
per second were also known as cumecs. Anyone else ever heard that term?

I was taught to solve problems in SI units. A pump flow rate would not be
described as:
* 27,000 US gallons per minute
* 60 cubic feet per second
* 5 acre feet per hour
* 100,000 liters per min
* 100 cubic metres per minute
It would be described in SI terms (1.7 cubic metres per second).
