We mix our units much more than that. Take temperatures - if it is
near freezing we use Centigrade, when it is hot we use Fahrenheit.

I suspect that for a lot of us, it's only the media - in fact, only the
print media - who do this. I think in Celsius for both: thirtysomething
is too hot for me, much below twenty (unless there's absolutely no wind)
too cold. Our weather forecasts have been in C for some decades, albeit
with the forecaster giving the F equivalent verbally (but not visually).
