Slightly OT, but:
When visiting the UK (which still hasn't fully committed to converting over to metric in all respects of daily life), I find it amusing that people tend to talk about the summer maximum temperatures in Fahrenheit (because 90 degrees sounds a lot hotter than 32 degrees), but winter temperatures tend to be in Celsius (because 0 degrees sounds a lot colder than 32 degrees). You even see this in the evening weather reports on TV.
