Yep, it's a strange mix of Metric and Imperial here.
Fuel is measured and sold in liters, but most people still measure miles per gallon, and miles per hour. Road signs for speed limits are in mph, and distances are in miles, but warning signs for junctions are in meters !
Fluids in shops , eg milk, soft drinks and beers, wines and spirits, are sold in metric measures, but in pubs, beer is still sold in pints !
I mainly use Imperial measurement for road distances,and measuring, for example, the size of a room and so on, but for measuring / estimating distance for photos (or shooting), it's metric, as is smaller, more precise measurement for modelling !!
The one that really puzzles me is the way the capacity of a bag is now presented, for example, a rucksack, which is now in liters, rather than cubic feet !!!
I can visualise the size and capacity of a bag in cubic feet, but not in liters - unless I was maybe able to guess how much beer the bag could hold, and then convert that to gallons !!
Anyway, I'm having a lazy time here on the campsite, with reasonable, fine weather. I've just about recovered from the stiffness and pain of Saturday's drive,having been rather tired and somewhat weary, and will be heading out tomorrow, to visit Thorpe Abbots, once home to the 'Bloody 100th' Bomb Group and, if access is possible, also visit Tibenham. Part of this airfield (the accessible parts) are used by a gliding club, and although open on weekends, I'm not sure if the gates will be open during weekdays, so I may not be able to get onto the airfield itself, but we'll see.
So now I'm about to fire up the 'barbie', have lunch, and maybe beer or two ..... or three - but that's an odd number, so better make it equal and have four - and relax and browse through my reference books.
Back sometime soon, and for all you people who have to work during the day - retirement is marvelous !!!
