Easter was like a second Christmas when I was growing up. Gatherings of the clans usually at the Grandparents, loads of food and drink, with a big sit down roast turkey dinner on Easter Sunday.
Today I went to the supermarket and was perplexed to find it closed.... Ah yes it's Easter Sunday!
Happy Easter!
Same here. However, I was able to fill up with diesel. £114 !! and i wasn't even completely empty
Either you have an exceptionally large tank or derv is exceptionally expensive.
£172.9. I don't acyually know how big tank is Volvo V70
15 ish gallons from memory
Gallons ?
I know we stiil use MPG (god knows why), but . . .
Be pleased you do. Britain ( and the Victorians) gave the world so much. Here in Spain - a metric country, we still buy pipe in inch or fractions thereof , diameter. Known as pulgadas. Car tyres are mostly in so many inches diameter. I still use mpg after all these years but admit I do also know how many km I do to a litre. This is mostly for conversation with Spaniards.
More obscure stuff like BSF are also to be found. Ditto strange nut sizes on machinery. It does make me smile.
When I'm Emperor of the entire world (coming quite soon
) . . . .
Total metrication will imposed on pain of death or serious physical torture. Odd fractions of an inch are just bonkers, totally random fluid measurements (8 pints to the gallon etc), 1,760 yards to the mile. Who the f*** thought all these up? I have a theory that it was just to give kids something to learn parrot fashion at school.
I used to sell medical equipment (made in the USA). On some items the length was metric (cms. EG 70 cms) diameter was a decimal of an imperial (EG .038 of an inch). It is said that a space shuttle blew up due to such confusion, not surpised.
