Bloody colonials
Hey we haven't fully adopted the metric system either.Fuel is sold in litres but consumption is measured in Miles Per GallonDistances are all in miles and countdown markers are in YardsFruit is sold in kg (or per item) as is sugar but beer is served in Pints (or glasses for the pedant amongst you)Smaller measurements I'm comfortable in mm, heights I can use either, distance I use miles unless I pop over to Europe in which case I recalibrate my brain to use kilometers
Still uncouth and somewhat provincial after all these years...from 1776?...or was it 1812?
Maybe where you are. Here is is 32.2 ft. per second per second. Which is probably why we invented drag racing- acceleration is much quicker in this part of the world.
