It's what we call Imperial measure - we still get 2"x4" timber - it's just rounded up to 25mm per inch. We're still Imperial in the UK for day-to-day usage, but schools have taught maths and science in metric/SI units since about 1970. So we'll talk in yards, feet and inches, or stones, pounds and ounces. But in the shops and at school evrthing is in MKS SI units (metres/kilogrammes/seconds) such as Joules, Watts, and Newtons etc. We do tend to use Celsius rather the Fahrenheit, but road signs etc are still in miles and MPH.
Wow a pint worth the asking price! I love beer well some beer, like Great Lakes, dogfish head, stone brewery. Of course if a local bar carries um they charge out of the nose. A bigger pint would make drinking out worth it again!
Yes - we have 20oz to the pint rather than 16. My local pub (well it's a few miles away - about 10 minutes by car) always has a selection of nice local beers, including their own house beer. Beer's about £2.60 a pint (so about $4 which would be $3 for an equivalent US pint I think).Wow a pint worth the asking price!
