    Temperature.
    When it’s cold and 0c tells me it’s time for a second T-shirt.
    But when it’s hot I prefer the 70 degrees rather than a 30 degrees centigrade.

    On occasion (Xmas and birthday) Metric Mrs Mac gets affectionate and tells me she wants my 30cm.

    Confuses the hell out of the imperial me.

    57 years ago when I started work as a land surveyor, before becoming a civil engineer I was confused by understanding levels. Ordinance benchmarks were measured in decimalised feet above mean sea level at Newlyn in Cornwall. Decimalised feet ?

    But it also appears like you're a lot further away from your destination. Even though you've travelled further than had you been completing the journey in miles, you've still got further to go. By the time I've completed the journey in miles you've got over half as much again still to do in kilometres. Keep your fancy kilometres, while you're still driving, I will have completed my miles, be in the bar and chatting up all the best looking women.

    Do you measure your chatting-up performance in inches or cm?

    Also "shout out" and "reach out" What's wrong with "mention" and "contact"? These are proper words we've used for years and to my knowledge they're not worn out!
    Society is disintegrating! :eek::eek:

    My favourite one from a CV. One woman describing herself as…

    “A high-speed connector developing actionable insights to further missions and fulfill destinies.”

    Reight. Bin that one.

    I am with you on that one. Hot is measured in Fahrenheit. Cold is measured in Celcius. It's how it should be.

    There's a rather crude German song by a female singer, called "20 Zentimeter". The first line rhymes in both German and English.

    "Das sind nicht zwanzig Zentimeter, nie im Leben, kleiner Peter"
    "That's never twenty centimetre, never in your life, little Peter"

    I think you’ll find it’s C until you get near 100F then we switch.
