In rural 1990s Ireland... Stones were used for weighing people. Kiligrams for livestock, feed and such. Pounds, pints and such for food and groceries.
Iirc, mph was used for speed limits. KMs for distance.

Stones and feet for people's weight it still used in common parlance, again not limited to rural Ireland. This is just the inertia of tradition. Doctors and such professionals would always use metric now of course.
With the exception of pints of beer which is still the standard today, food and groceries were already metric in the 90s. Source: I grew up in rural Ireland ;)
Maybe in Ireland. Round here ‘pints’ keep getting smaller.
