Most ovens are Imperial. Mine is, and it is less than three months old. |

For people over 35 most use Fahrenheit. The young brainwashed use Celsius but a few are bi-temp (new word). I have conversion charts on the wall as I prefer Fahrenheit and I curse that ******* Trudeau for bringing in an official Metric usage law. I'm old and I don't want to change. Business works in both systems. |

Personally, I'd like to see a change to metric but it would take generations for a complete change. I still remember people having a difficult time getting their Volkswagen serviced aside from a dealer because mechanics did not have metric tools. |

Having lived through the change I can tell you that I prefer Celsius. It makes more sense for weather. Zero is the freezing point, and there is a major difference between +1 and -1. > I still remember people having a difficult time getting their > Volkswagen serviced aside from a dealer because mechanics did not have > metric tools. Perhaps, but since Volkswagons were a sort of novel car most owners preferred to take them to VW dealers or garages that specialized in them, and those shops would have the metric tools. I don't know about mechanics in the US, but every mechanic I know up here seems to be a tool junky. It gives them an excuse to buy more tools. |

Business works in both systems. > Well I'm old as well and I now think in celsius for the weather and find it difficult to interpret Foreignheit. As most of our appliances come from or probably through the US, they are graduated in F. I look forward to the day when all recipes are in grams and ml. So much more accurate and easier to deal with, especially when scaling up or down. Graham |

Business works in both systems. No one would now call me young, so I guess I'd too be 'old' and I would have to describe myself as being 'bi-temp' but then Australia went metric about 1968 IIRC. |
