I can tolerate metres instead of yards, even though I get a brain warp occasionally with millimetres, I always had a problem with 2240 lb's in a ton, 1760 yards in a mile, rods, poles and perches in something or other.
What gets up my nose is the media changing the names of Australian railway stations into 'train stations' a stuff like that. Its not a f'en camel train!
I was always fascinated be maths and algebra at school but always got it wrong!
At least I don't spell socks 'SOX' or put the word FOR in front of FREE.
Am I todays 'Grump Master?
cheers Ol' pancho.
