Something like this:
(I've probably missed something, and also I don't think that lbs for weight is correct, should be stone)
Yeah, weight still talked about in stone and lbs. But now the kids talk about theirs in kg, so there’s a need for a decision about age for metric/st’lbs”
I'm very much not a kid but I don't understand stones at all, so my weight, which I rarely bother to measure anyway, I do in kgs.
I do mine in lbs just to be awkward. Things at work are in kilos, people in conversations are stones. I track my weight in lbs. That’s just the way it is.
This implies young people in general. But even so, imperial is still used within times - its just that both systems are used interchangeably.
Thanks, great artstyle
