Default Celcius or Farenheit?

I was watching the local news last night and there was a feature on this subject. Some old biddies were writing in to complain that the weather feature did not show temperatures in degress Farenheit. Now I think that this is absolutely correct.

Just in case you didn't know we are going to American in January (see what I did there -guys!) and I want to look at the weather reports to see if it is getting colder, the colder it is the more excited I get. When I look it show something like 62F and I have no idea if that is warm cold or whatever. I know, I know, you will all post and say well look it up then. Which obviously I could but I can't be arsed. So this brings me back on to the original subject.

What do you prefer?

Temp C = (Temp F -30) /2 Approx

so 70F is 20C

My parents are both in their 70's and they always refer to Celcius. I was brought up with Farenheit but Celcius suits me, its when they start chucking in Kelvin Scale and such that stuffs me!!

When I used to do thermodynamics it was Kelvin and Celsius (Same really, just relative to absolute zero instead of the freezing point of water). But if I want to know if it is going to be warm tomorrow I look at good old Fahrenheit.
