1. UK

2. Old houses 9' to 12'  New houses anything from 8' to 9'

3. Older property 6'6" New stuff 2 metres.

4. No idea

5. A fixed chair is approx 18 inches.

6. Older property has all doors at 2'6", New stuff at 3' (or their metric equivalents).

Note:  We are nominally a metric standard country but we didn't change until 1971 and even then the changes weren't fully implemented.  Most of us think in feet and inches.  In that sense I'm comfortable with either but my wife uses metric measurements exclusively. since she's considerably younger.

We still use miles, rather than kilometres, too.  And we also use pints for the sale of beer and milk.  BTW, a UK pint is considerably bigger than a US pint.
