The feds are still determined to get my car - even if it is imperial

[Geraint Lloyd]

I grew up in the UK and converted to metric there and later in france.

Some anecdotes
replaced some floor beams (went between floorboards and joists) for the
in-law's old house in france once. The shop looked at me as if i was stupid
when i asked if he had any direct replacement 4.5"x3.5", then promptly sold
me some 114.5 by 89 mm.

In canada it's all metric, but stuff is still sold in imperial if you are a
boy.
Curtains are measured in metric, but curtain rails are measured in imperial.


I guess that mpg turns out to be more of a log scale than one
imagines.......
