Yeah, there are weird holdovers and inconsistencies hanging on. Object weight is kilograms, but babies and drug weight is in either KG/G or "pounds and ounces". Human weight is in kg or "stones". Object height is in CM, but human height is in either CM or feet. Distances are measured in CM and Metres... until it's the distance travelled between cities or the speed of cars and then it's "miles".

It's a mess, really.
