"I still convert to pre decimal currency " That's dedication to the cause. My dad does that. He told me the other day that something had gone up by 7/6d | |||

"A recent Cautionary Tales podcast talks about the dangers of mixing imperial and metric, and imperial is so lacking logic (just my take) though I love a Chain as it's the distance between the wickets in cricket! Though I did learn that the reason aviation talks about flying at so many feet is so it differentiates between altitude which is always in feet and distance which is always in kilometres. Useless fact of the day. You're welcome! G" I'll have 3metres of 4 by 2 please... | |||

" That's how I think about miles. A mile is a distance internally consistent with other distances in miles, for which I have no reliable frame of reference unless I convert it. | |||

When I am measuring me, I use stones and pounds, and feet and inches. When I measure how much I lift when training or how far I travel when running and hill walking, I use kilograms and kilometres | |||

"Some what alarmed when I see wheel chair tyres have to be inflated to 100psi are you sure that is correct it is highly dangerous, I was once hospitalised by an exploding tyre that left me with severe head injuries, that probably goes some way to explain why I am like I am." Yep! They're rated up to 120psi and whilst I've had basketball chair inner tubes pop, the inner tubes are within bicycle tyres and you just get a flat. No-one or thing has ever been injured. Makes one heck of a noise though There's no head injuries happening with wheelchair tyres. | |||
