The weather forecast mentions the possibilty of snow this weekend. I cannot help noticing that snow is always forecast in centimetres, rain in millimetres and down here in the west country the surf is always forecast in feet. Funny thing is that on days with little surf they say "half a foot" - they never say you can expect to get 6 inches on the beach today.
In the same week, trading standards officials in Norwich threatened to prosecute a market trader for selling produce in imperial units while also threatening to prosecute the owner of a Belgian bar for selling draught beers in metric units!
