Drive Metric
Do you want 454g of jam?
Or a pound of it.
An acre is about 70 yards square.
OK, I use the small metric units such as anything from a micron to a metre, but after that it is in feet, yards, miles.
Get a couple of pints of milk, I’m asked.so I get a litre.
I recalibrated my speedometer on the car when living overseas, with bits of dymotape, to save on the mental transition to mph.
This is surely all daft.
A dozen eggs should now be sold in packs of ten?
I bought some strips of timber to glorify my boat ceiling a couple of years ago
I wanted stuff two inches wide, and ended up with timber 500mm wide.
It did not fit properly.
I am dismayed that we have to bow to the silly EU directives.
Next, am I allowed to use my 15cm spring onions from the allotement ?
It drives you to the point where you laugh at this silly situation.
What do you reckon ?
Bob
what kind of jam?
anyway, if there is no jam forthcoming…
A couple of years ago i was in Lyndhurst in Hampshire and i went to a sweetshop – there probably only is one – so you know who you are. I asked for a quarter (pound) of wine gums (weighed on scales and served in a bag) and the young person behind the counter said he couldn’t sell me a quarter of wine gums, it had to be metric.
At the time I was at a loss of what to do other than ask for 113 grams of wine gums (the only thing you buy in grams as far as I’m concerned is cocaine).
I should point out I would be equally upset if I went into a shop and asked for 100 grams of wine gums and was told I had to have 4 ounces or something.
Just what is the problem with people? Why are people being prosecuted for this?? It s ridiculous.
Incidentally this has nothing to do with an EU directive – that wasn’t due to become law until 2009 and has since been modified.
