ingo a écrit older UK-people ....

I'm far too young .... One I've just thought of - UK has always used cc for engine size, never cubic inches (which is unique to US and CDN?).

ingo DEDon't some older UK-people still have "stones" in the mind for measuring a weight?

An for measuring the wind force, too: Link to "www.englishforum.ch"

antp BEIn Belgium TVs are often in inches: my TV was sold as a 40", I do not know what cm-size it is (well it is easy to compute...) 2013-05-22 18:27

Andre Malraux ROSame thing here: the TV screens are measured in cm, but computers' monitors in inches. Also the wheels, for wich there is the "Țol" ( ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Țol_(unitate) ; the pronunciation is identical with "Zoll", I think we took the word from you ;) ). IIRC, the mirrors of the telescopes are measured in toli too (don't ask me why). :whistle:

ingo DE:think: Now, while you are talking about measures, I recognize, that in Germany nowadays obviously the measures of TV-flatscreens are mainly priced in centimeters, but computer-monitors in inches.
Although nearly everything is metric over here, there are a few things, which are measured in inches, as wheel-sizes for example (for all kind of vehicles) plus for other, not that important things ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoll_%28Einheit%29 )

Odd: a folding meter stick is of course totally metric - but the common term in German is "Zollstock" = "inch stick".

Some other ancient measures are still in colloquial use, although they are officially abolished since decades. Most common: everyone terms the power of a vehicle-engine in "PS" (hp), which was officially replaced in 1978 with "KW" (kilowatt). Since the same time we don't have "Pfund" (=pound) any more (for 500 grams), neither "Zentner" (50kg). But "atü" ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/At%C3%BC ) is indeed outdated now and the replacements "bar" and "pascal" are usual.

ElSaxo ITAnd how are shown the measures of tv screens, inches or centimetres?
When in Italy even precious metals are generally weighed in grams and not in ounces, electronic screens are (inexplicably) measured in inches.

Ddey65 a écrit Do that many people still use imperial weights and measurements in the UK?

It's a strange mixture. I still think of weights in imperial (pounds, ounces, tons) but food is sold in metric (although it's easy enough to ask for a pound of meat at the butchers). Liquids are mostly sold in metric (fuel, most drinks) but beer is sold in pubs in pints; milk containers come as pints or litres depending where you buy them. Distances are usually metric, particularly small measurements and all professional usage, but road signs and speed is all in miles, and fuel consumption is miles per gallon. Kids get taught metric in school and imperial at home by parents or increasingly now grandparents - so most people are reasonably bilingual and can cope with either system.

dsl a écrit all those 10/100/1000 progressions are sooooo boring


Maybe, but they are more logical and everybody can understand them. ;) Frenchmen also used the foot as unit of measurement, long time ago (though their foot was different from british foot; btw, confusion between the british foot and the french foot led to the myth of Napoleon's shortness), but they renounced to it. :p

Ahh, yes. If you want outdated measurements just look at those. Yesterday, I read a 19th Century map of Long Island that measured distances in "rods."

Do that many people still use imperial weights and measurements in the UK?

How much is 5'8" in cm? Why americans and brits still use this oldfashioned unit of measurement which only they understand? :D

G-MANN a écrit In 1981, Sarah Jane Smith starred in a Doctor Who spin-off program called "K9 and Company" (only a pilot episode was ever made), in which she drove a Austin Metro convertible.

I remember seeing the pilot. I thought it looked lame.

Please tell me you can be taller than 5'8" and drive a Figaro without feeling cramped. Because I have a bad feeling this may not be the case.
