so is calories

I've switched to using Fahrenheit these days, as the press use it, so we all know what we're talking about when we say it's over 100

and the Americans use it, so it makes online discourse easier

that's backwards thinking

you only like imperial cos its how youve been taught

And everybody talks about people being 6 foot, or driving 30 miles. And we still use miles per gallon to talk about the efficiency of our cars

Yeah, I don't like metric and I'll never use it. Now we're out of the EU, we can start afgitating about it without it being "impossible"

alright old man

go back to shouting at clouds

Well, it was us who stopped us losing the pint of beer in the 00's

The EU only gave up their fight about that in 2008

And older people went out at night and changed signs which local councils had changed to metres back to yards in the dead of the night in the 90s

this isn't very convincing

i do a lot of woodwork and i measure everything in mm cos its mroe accurate than fractions of an inch

i keep having to convert for boomers who cant cut straight or at size

Maybe I'm a drinker and you're not, or something. Personally, I don't even consider modern pints to be proper pints. they're metric pints until we put the crown symbol back on the glass, rather than 'CE'

teh cut of a saw is measured in mm like 3 or 4, not 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch

If you get your stock from America, you can probably get them non-metric

are you talking pints or wood

cos i get both locally

Tools

lmao

the cut is bigger than the blade

you ever used a saw buddy

im gonna order an imperial hammer from murica

rather than a metric one

Not to any serious extent... but I'm sure the French didn't invent it

And I'm sure God doesn't make wood in Metric

no the trees do

because metric is a measurement

Wait, what... trees are in Metric now? I don't think so

so is food

tis all in grams and kilo-calories

I buy my food in lbs

whats that? like 500g?

Why do you think loads of things on the shelves are 454g? Because that's a lb

ive never noticed or thought about it

cos i dont eat food in 500g incrememnts

I do if it's haggis 😉

never had it

isnt it liver
