After much thought (and some experimentation) I am changing my previous
position of endorsing the use of centimeters for personal private use.
I have decided it would indeed be easier in the long run even for private
individuals to stay with multiples of 1000. As Pat and others have
suggested.
However I do disagree with Pat in one small area. The use of "tonne" for
1000 kilograms. To me this smacks of the Imperial / USC unit of "ton". Thus
I prefer "megagram" for this unit.
