One thing I thought was weird here in the US is cooking. In England all the cookery books had regular weights g, oz and lbs. For the longest time I didn't cook anything that needed normal ingredients because we don't have scales. Recently I found out that everything in recipies is measured in cup volumes here and not weighed at all :)
So half a cup, here, 2 cups there, 3/4 cup something else. Actually makes it much easier.
