I was thinking I'm happy using either but must admit if someone gives their weight in KGs I have absolutely no idea! And I did once have to take a bike computer back to the shop because I discovered it only measured in KMs when I got it home.
One thing I do struggle with (along with most things in life to be honest!) is hill gradients in %s. Not really a metric thing as such I guess, but does seem to be a relatively recent thing- at least UK. I can easily visualise a 1 in 8 or 1 in 10 hill but a 75% one, no. I just assume it means you can get up 75% before you're knackered. I'm sure it's very straightforward to understand but I have a mental block. Being thick doesn't help either.
Edit- I should add that luckily for me, hill gradients are not things that trouble us here in East Anglia.
