Every 100 miles or so I buy 10 litres of petrol. I go to the timber yard and buy 2 meters of 2 inch by 1 inch wood, half a kilo of 2 inch nails a 750 ml tin of paint and a 3 inch paintbrush. Then I go to the supermarket and buy a quarter of ham thats priced at £1 per 100 grammes and a 568 ml bottle of milk.
My 12 year old nephew has never been taught any imperial measures because its illegal to teach them in school yet he still told me proudly the other day that he was 5 foot 6 inches tall and weighed 9 stone. I think metrification has a looooong way to go.
If you can find anyone in Britain who gives a damn then you could probably find gold at the end of the rainbow.
