Oh well; what about going to france and see the vast amount of space (compared to any other industrialised country) a major part of the cows have got there. (charolais anyone? La bourgogne?). (Don't get me wrong here; goose force feeding is horrible, but not restricted to france...)
There was a time when scientists had to be able to convert units from 3 (!) different systems. In the SI system simply all fits together. That is the reason why I absolutely cannot understand why people still use anything other than the SI system. I guess it's just lack of flexibility...
Oops...yep ham is pig. But I was so mesmerised imagining those massive legs on my table that I totally ignored the front end of the animal. And you have to admit that it has something pig-like...
Forgive me if I am mistaken; but what about the UK? I clearly remember the ads for flats were in square feet... Or am I confusing the metric system with the SI units?
That brightened this rainy day up a little...!
