Probably mostly Imperial/avdp. - I use stones for people's weight, miles for long distance, and feet for height. I use whatever is more convenient for cooking - I find sometimes that numbers are more likely to be rounded up if they're in the old system, especially for liquid measures.
We don't use a completely metric system, in fact it is a mixture of the 2.
Since 1995, goods sold in Europe have had to be weighed or measured in metric, but the UK was temporarily allowed to continue using the imperial system. This opt-out was due to expire in 2009, with only pints of beer, milk and cider and miles and supposed to survive beyond the cut-off.

What goods are sold in and what is use are two different things. We measure distance in miles, and so many other things.
You can select both in the poll if you wish to say both.
What about magnetic field strength etc.?
I study physics, so use primarily metric with other units(eg. Parsecs) where appropriate.
Weight (kg or st and lb)
Weight cannot be measured in kg. Consider the dimensions of weight given by the definition of force: [W]=[F]=[dtd(mv)]=[tmv]=MLT−2. LT−2 is not dimensionless, so you can't use kg as a unit of weight.
