Do they really sell bacon by the pound over in the UK???
Not 'really' - but they give the price for both kilograms and pounds, and if you ask for a 'pound of bacon' (as I did earlier on today) they sell you 0.45Kg instead :lol:
I don't see how the metric changeover can be complete until the pre-metric generations have died out. The weather forecasts here give temperatures in C and F - I don't have a clue how cold or warm temperatures in C are!. Same with measurements, I'm happy to work in either (or both), but if you asked me how long I wanted something I'd say "six inches", never "15 cm's".
I grew up using Pounds, Shillings and Pence - and I still tend to thing in that way, I still commonly call a 50p piece "ten bob".
