Confession: I switched back to Metric

Zylark,

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

But I'll stick with Imperial thanks just the same. If nothing else, the speedometer in my car is calibrated both in Imperial and Metric, but the metric scale is very small and I can hardly see it with my poor eyes!

Also, citywide speed limit where I live is 35 mph. That translates to 56.32704 kph which would be a very difficult speed for me to maintain

Only option would be to round it down to exactly 55 kph which is only 34.17541 mph - everywhere I went it would take me longer to get there, and it takes too long already :hmm:

Could be worse I guess, my understanding is that at one time the "foot" was based on the length of the organ at the end of the current monarch's leg, and I guess that (for a time anyway) with every change of monarchy, the definition of the "foot" would change...
