Careful. Imagine how long the paperwork will take and then they will probably still send it back.

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 .

A butcher tried it my town, selling in Lbs and oz but was cracked down on and threatened with fines.
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.

French islands in the Pacific are New CaledoniaIs that where Snowdonia and Caledonia came from
Caledonia was anywhere in the Northern part of the Roman Empire. Try Helvetia, then the penny may drop.

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.
I've got that on 7" somewhere. A side was something to do with Magic Roundabout.

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.
