[QUOTE="dowcow, post: 7149134, member: 106876"] That's the one.... I'm sure he was talking once about pounds and ounces and all that Imperial nonsense. I don't even know how many pounds there are in an ounce. I'm not even sure when we were kids and we used to buy "a quarter of humbugs" what that particular quarter was. Quarter pound? Quarter ounce? It's bad enough when I went looking through the manual for the old crop sprayer and it started talking about fluid oz.... What even is that? Like a pint? A litre? Back to spanners.... the metric threads are great. Pitch and size and head size all in mili meters... great! UNC BSP UNF etc are just... bloody irritiating. To me at least, and I suspect to most people born in the last 40 or 50 years. 'Thou of an inch' sounds to me like something a Victorian would say when building a steam engine. [/QUOTE]
