I use pounds and ounces, but occasionally use the other measure.

For cakes I use pounds and ounces, because that is what my recipes say. For bread I use grams, because the breadmaker recipes are in those.

For meaty things, I buy and cook in pounds and ounces, also for white sauce, yorkshire puds and lots of other things.

I suspect we are the last of the hybrid cooks.

I use both (usually separately) because I have both old and new cookery books.

...How many of us old girls members of the senior generation now bake with grams, and how many with pounds and ounces?

I am in the latter camp. Probably because all my old cookbooks ars just that - old.
