I'm from the UK and part of the forgotten generation, so I was pretty much brought up on both systems. The "cheaper" way to do F from C is double it and add thirty. It works reasonable enough. Of course the reverse is minus thirty then half.

I'm definitely more native in deg C, but am fine with deg F too. Yes, I added deg to stop the coding jokes.
