ah, my bad!
As a Generation Xer, I was taught metric by British Imperial natives, so never really knew either. Those wanting Brexit loved Imperial, so I embraced SI units fully.
Moving to Canada I discovered a country differently unfinished in its metric journey, but also constrained by an overbearing neighbour ridiculously backward in its thinking. I mean no one, literally no one in Britain ever used British Thermal Units. And US pint? its not even 16 🇬🇧 fl oz ffs.
