My Dad likes using fahrenheit and I just guess based on the way he's said it as to whether that's good or not

They wouldn't at the moment. Ironically I probably would but they use metric measurements only right now. Distance measurements are a mixed up mess so as they get older and have to buy items based on length I wouldn't be surprised if they picked up on imperial more.

The weird thing with distance is that football and golf have maintained the usage of yards, hence that is what I think in. I don't think my mindset will change unless there is a global overhaul in those two sports where they say everything has to be done in metres. And I don't think that will ever happen in football. I mean I can't imagine a ref saying the wall has to get back 9.1 metres.

Many people use both.
When it's hot, it's in the 80s
When it's cold it's -3

I'm 54 and I use farenheit which winds Junior Shark up no end. Then again, this does make me only about 16 in centigrade.

Having worked in a job where part 'n parcel of the operation is maintaining/manipulating temperatures of the various baths... Due to, depending on where the kit was sourced, temperatures could've been displayed in either centigrade or fahrenheit I've always been comfortable thinking in either scale...
Question for the younger folk... When buying clobber do you look for metric or imperial sizing? Not sure I even know what the mm size I'd seek when buying trousers or jackets...

I'm not younger but to be fair it is sized in imperial so they have no choice. Trousers are definitely marked in inches on the hanger. They may have cm on the label as well but the hanger only has imperial. Tops for men are S, M, L, XL etc I don't buy smart work shirts so I can't comment there. It is typically British in terms of the whole metrification, we have toyed with it rather than committing fully.

I used to convert but no longer bother. I don;t need to know the temperature precisely - knowing 5* is getting cold; 10* is not so warm; 18* is an OK summer's day (13 in Scotland 
); 22* it's getting warm, 28* hot. Something like that.

Had to make the switch in golf to metric. Too many others using it to faff about setting the cart gps to yards and the range is metric anyway, so now even when i have the choice I prefer metres

My soon to be MiL moaning she has to book a hotel room the night before our wedding so she can be at venue at 8am.. Even though there is no need for her to do so, no need for her to be at the venue that early the wedding isn't until 2pm, it's fully set up by the organisers all she has to do is get ready and be there an hour before the ceremony so no need for her to book anything but yet she's insisting she has to be there for 8am.. No idea why nobody else will be there.

Politics - or should that be politicians?! Just cringe-worthy watching Hunt like some sort of weird robot and Johnson talking in that weird rhythm that makes me constantly think he's forgotten what he was going to say.

Rain and thunderstorms on one of the hottest nights of the year - especially when the wind blows it straight through your bedroom window forcing closure.
Temp rises like an oven, even less chance of sleep and for someone who doesn't sleep well that's not good.
So, after crashing at 9.30 after a hot day at Sunningdale, not sleeping particularly well anyway and unable to have bedroom windows open.....I'm up and about
Oh deep joy
It's going to be a very very long day.....
