Victoria, that is: thanks for the holiday. It's a long weekend here (bank holiday to you) called "Victoria Day". But it's only 5 degrees so we are not amused.

[stewey]

Thanks, twofeathers, perhaps I'll have an extra wobbly-pop to toast dear old Vicky. Actually, every weekend is a long one for me:)

[sunny-dave]

I do hope that's 5°C not 5°F ...

[stewey]

Yes, centigrade...And some people on here are nattering about the heat:)

[albaqwerty]

on a GMEB thread a few days ago, I mentioned that the weatherlass had said 'a igh of 14'

We hoped she meant celsius/centigrade and not fahrenheit.

What is the difference between celsius and centigrade anyway?

[stewey]

I think, albaqwerty, that they are essentially the same.

[boxtops]

alba - nuffink

[albaqwerty]

that's what I thought, so why on earth change it?
It wasn't broken!

Centigrade is the old term for Celsius, went out of use in 1948 apparently.

[stewey]

Despite the DEGREE of difference in terminology, it's still not too bloody warm:)

[berniecuddles]

brisk walk across the field will warm you up stewey

[stewey]

Goo idea, berniecuddles. I shall trot across that furlong at a brisk four rods per hour:)

[stewey]
