Antlion Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Just now, Jacksgranda said: I fail to see the significance of this "story", tbqh. Just a bit of Markle-bashing. Surprising to see it in the Independent; it seems to be hardcore Lizzie fetishists and far-right racists who are fuming at the continued refusal of Megan Markle to quietly become a red splatter on the inside of a Parisian tunnel. Apparently they have been trying to make “Whinge and Ginge” a thing - they feel that this pair have disrespected their nonagenarian idol and must be disgraced for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this deeply scientific experiment, it would appear that people brought up using imperial measurements are old enough to remember England winning the World Cup.

scw1987 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Anyone split the difference? Moi. I started school 57 years ago. Imperial to start but metric creeping in by end of primary.And me. I'm 63, my brother is 60. When he was 10 or 11 he asked me what 'quart' meant (on a 2 pint milk carton). Turned out he had no idea how many pints were in a gallon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed this on to the mother-in-law who was straight back on to me saying ask about lbs! Whats that in lbs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) No doubt the metric thing is to half the pump prices at petrol stations by going to pints as the measurement. Edited June 5, 2022 by 101 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I don't know what age you are but the cost used to be given in gallons. I'm wincing at the thought of how much it would work out as. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
