I was born in Germany, but have lived here my entire life. I have never heard anyone here state his or her height in metres or centimetres. I will grant that we use a befuddling hodgepodge of measurements in Canada between metric and imperial. It doesn't make any sense at all, but it's long-ingrained in the national consciousness (or maybe it's a regional phenomenon).
