Bojo.... remember him..? One of the many things he promised he'd do was to reintroduce the use of imperial measurements.
Great, I thought... petrol will revert back to the good old days where price increases were just 1p a gallon, rather than 5p a feckin' litre.

Never happened... but it did get me thinking about some of the many less well known measurements we'll not see in use again.

Down with the Metric System!

It is hard to understand why anyone would think the metric system isn’t simpler and more practical.

Another glorious clear blue sky, light breeze and a nippy 6c.

Panels churning out 2.266kw, batteries at 47% and hot water scorchio.
