I'm going to have to disagree with you there as my introduction to the wonderful world of fasteners was also metric on Japanese motorcycles, therefore, no, I certainly didn't grow up with any useful knowledge of Imperial fasteners! Although perhaps I would have been more familiar with Imperial measurements and fractions, the metric system was rapidly replacing Imperial units in UK schools even before I left (and had no formal engineering training after I'd left) and I certainly knew little or nothing about Imperial/British Standard or Unified fasteners at that time and it's only because I've taken the trouble to subsequently teach myself about these things mainly due to owning British bikes and that wasn't until 1999 (and if I can learn enough about it to get by without confusing myself then it can't be all that difficult).
