Yes supermarkets have been using it as an excuse to push prices up for the last 2 years.I don't really believe I "suffered". The whole of North America and parts of South America still use the Imperial system. Nothing wrong with it, it is just a unit of measurement.
As for pounds shillings and pence, if nothing else it gave me a terrific insight into cynicism. Overnight prices went up "because it's all decimal now, innit!" I watched a similar scenario play out with the year 2000 nonsense and I am watching the Puppy's Dog play out the same way. These things are an education.
Growing up metric fractional inches seems a unnecessarily awkward way of splitting a measurement into smaller pieces
