The metric inch!
When I was a lad, Bruce, the duo-decimal system was the "in thing"-the advantages of a base of 12-very divisible-unlike 10! and the convenience of metric multiplication-however, I could never get my head quite round it!! I now measure my increasing weight in stones-not pounds like you,but measure wood in metres for length but 2"by 4" the other way!! No wonder us "Brits" are confused!!
