"How did you go from Golgotha to the Alps in one quick step anyway."

?Peter! Peter! I can see your house from up here.?

I'm not a sophisticated man, I had a different peter in mind. You were thinking Golgotha or the Sermon on the mount, I was figuring teutonic goatherder.

I didn?t know that any comments on Teutonic goat herds were attributed to Jesus. Although I have always had my suspicions about, ?Yodel-ay, yodel-ay, yodel-ay, i, oooo.?

1 KM is 66% of a mile, just as 1 Euro is 66% of a Pound ............ um, well ..... Does this mean that 1 KM is now about 80% of a mile?

2lbs is 1 kilo (nearly) - from old bags of sugar. I still think of baby weights in bags of sugar.

1 litre is nearly 2 pints - from bottles of milk.

Temperature is Celsius, short distance in CM and Metres, long distance in miles (1500 metres = 1 mile-ish)

I just about remember old money, but was 7 when the change over happened and so did both Imperial and Metric.

I find imperial confusing because I moved to Canada when I was 9 and we did metric in school.
