A butcher tried it my town, selling in Lbs and oz but was cracked down on and threatened with fines.And yet when you go into French supermarkets you see the price in euros and also in Francs, do we see uk prices put up as pound shillings and pence ? I have seen a good few years ago prices in "old" francs as well as the new ones,
Last year I saw a couple of old ladies struggling to pay for groceries in euros and the checkout girls having to take coins from them .
The new Franc is worth 100 old Francs simply because the original Franc became practically worthless. Oh well, Sh1t happens for one reason or another. Not just an Argentina or Italian thing.And yet when you go into French supermarkets you see the price in euros and also in Francs, do we see uk prices put up as pound shillings and pence ?

Evidence? I understand the reasoning behind doing so but our old currency had its origins in a number of old European currencies. You lot will be claiming responsibility for the invention of the moped next.
Brilliant. So it was the Frogs who invented it.Can’t miss this opportunity...
French islands in the Pacific are New CaledoniaIs that where Snowdonia and Caledonia came from as well? You learn something new every day.
Caledonia was anywhere in the Northern part of the Roman Empire. Try Helvetia, then the penny may drop.French islands in the Pacific are New Caledonia

There were many prosecutions at that time in the UK. As near as I can say it was around mid 1999.A butcher tried it my town, selling in Lbs and oz but was cracked down on and threatened with fines.
Strange isn’t it. I have no difficulty in money, dimensions like meters etc but like you height and area and miles I just can’t get the metric equivalent. I have an image in my head if an acre but not that of a hectare. Yet working width of machines I’m totally metric and know what the conversion is.Can't get a handle on someone's height in cm. Feet and inches easier to visualise.
I've got that on 7" somewhere. A side was something to do with Magic Roundabout.Can’t miss this opportunity...
Farmers in the UK have always seemed to work in various barstewardised systems of measurement with Kg per acre, gallons per ha, etc we have just grownup with it. The annoying thing here, buy a tape measure and there are no inches on it.Strange isn’t it.

Best way to learn is being forced to have to think or talk in a different way.
