Oh. Dear. Via Hangingday.


Trelane:

For the record, I can't think in Fahrenheit at all. It means nothing to me.


 

But then again, I can only think in kilograms too. What do I know?

Quarter Life Crisis / Here comes the metric system!: 2lmc linking to a bit on Fahrenheit degrees making quite seriously the same point about the "100 is hot"...

Sven mentions that British petrol stations don't sell petrol in gallons. Well, not any more, they don't.


 

As recently as the turn of the 90s, though, they did. I'm sure most Britons still think as easily in terms of gallons as they do in terms of litres, for petrol certainly. (We also measure road distances in miles still, annoyingly.


 

Speed limits are in mph too.)
