I know an inch is 2.5 cm but if someone says to me 10" I can visualise 10". For some unknown reason I can't visualise lengths given in cms

1 inch = 2.54cm 1 pound = 454 grams 1 pint = 568mls *Is clever* .

Yeah I don't get the cm thing either. Too small to deal with!
I'm just glad I understand stones now.

I have trouble working out people's weights on American shows Limey because you say them in pounds, so I have to do the division into stones in my head ;D

And I have to do the mental math when you all talk in stones. At least now I don't have to keep asking what a stone is.

I think Imperial makes more sense because we used it more commonly up until recently really, when all the stores were forced to sell things in metric - I can see a pound of tomatoes in my head - but in grams and kilograms ?- no idea. A lot of old folk buy in numbers/slices now because they cant get to grips with the system (old folk like meeeeeeeee lol) - and flipping litres instead of gallons pah! kilometres instead of miles! moan , moan, moan pmsl!

I've had that as well, but for some reason have still for some stupid reason never bothered to change. Want to go with Telepest, but it's not in my area as it's a lot cheaper and more reliable........ Then I'd get their cheaper version of Sky and the cheap phone package.

It's starting. I dread noon and this stupid potluck lunch. I asked a coworker what was in her collard greens dish (like butter or something, because I don't know how they're cooked, only how they're worn ) and she said she cooks them with ham. So I made a sound like "Oh ok, that's all I need to hear" and I didn't make a face. But she said, "Well, I'm sure you can pick around the ham". NO, I CANNOT PICK AROUND THE GODD@M HAM!!! Then I went to put my lunch in the small refrigerator that's kept in a cubicle for our department only and I open the door and get knocked off my feet by the sick smell of cooked pig's butt. *gags* It was awful.
