Cultural Differences?

So why is it my UK Passport says I am 194 CMS tall but I tell everyone in NZ (when asked, obviously I don't just walk up to strangers and give them personal details) that I am 6 Foot 4 and a bit?

Odd that this country is metric - everything is KMs, KG's etc but that I can go into a Pub/Bar and order a pint (which would appear to vary in volume considerably) can walk along 90 Mile beach (if I was anywhere near it) and ask quite rightly how much a baby weighs when born in Pounds and Ounces?

Funny old world we live in
