I'm also in that two-system generation. I try to work in metric but at home I still have spanners, drill bits etc in imperial. We also have instruments at work which have imperial nuts and bolts. I've had to train students from Europe and China, which are fully metric, to work on the gear and so need to introduce them to the imperial system. Talk about wonder and amazement!! If having to work in 1/16th" units isn't enough to do their head in, talk of SAE, Whitworth and NPT certainly is.
