Always amazes me how people like him think their past will not come back to haunt them. Of course the media/enemies/opposition etc are going to be digging around to find anything they can use. Why didn’t he come clean from the start?

Yes purely because much of what is manufactured in Canada is destined for the US... so it has to be in imperial. :rolleyes:. I've kind of got used to it now, but would prefer metric, its just so much easier in my job.

Grains are sold in Canada by Imperial bushel which is different from the “bushel” they use in the US. The real culprits are Brits.

Oh, yes, I know degrees C are used here (-30 and halve) but I don't see them. The house thermostat is in F as is the big roadside thermometer I used to pass on the way to work. I don't think I've seen a recipe which had degrees C, even in parentheses. The meat thermometer, purchased here reasonably recently, is in degrees F only.

Thinking of recipes, a true Brexit benefit would be if the Gruaniad and the BBC included imperial measures in their recipes. Translating everything from metric is a pain in the arse especially knowing that the recipe was written in imperial and translated to metric in the first place.
