    Good morning. 18C already :phew:. Lawn really needs cutting but soaked in dew and hot sun forecast soon. I can't work in the hot sun with the mower weighing over a hundredweight (I still thing in old Imperial measures :old: :heehee:). It's the traditional hundredweight I'm referring to and not the American namby pamby one! :paladin: :loll:

    They now call the American one the 'short hundredweight' and the Imperial one the 'long hundredweight' as our one is twelve pounds heavier.

                  Their gallons are smaller than our imperial gallons too. It's all about bragging rights, a US ten gallon hat is the same as our bobble hat ;)

                      Yes, a massive 20% smaller. That's the problem you get when you let the colonies go! :sofa:

                      It doesn't seem to make them slimmer than us! :whistle: :roflol:

                        I might be wrong but I think I used to hear Americans refer to a quart, obviously 2 US pints, but i think they often referred to it as a Liter.
                        Talking booze of course.
                        Might be remembering wrong, but I do remember Liters being spoken about.

                          A metric litre is approx. 35 ounces. Two American pints are 32 ounces and two UK pints are 40 ounces :noidea:
