British Expats - Pet Peeves?

Right, whereas Celsius is used in Canada and Mexico, who are both on the metric system. And in the UK, with their weird hybrid system I quite like :lol:

Isn't Celsius considered a metric measurement, with Kelvin being the SI unit for temperature?

Kelvin? He's a Muppet, isn't he?

As for your make-up..... Do you really need it? :unsure:

How on earth would I rear a baby bird, especially with cats in the house? No, I don't need makeup. I meant moisturizer, which I do need.

Couldn't tell you if there's a muppet by that name. For me, he's the guy who came up with the absolute temperature scale, with whom I share a birthday.

Given that this is the peeves thread, and Maud's points are separated by "." I believe she is peeved by metric measurements and also peeved by Celsius temperatures. I agree with SoS that generally speaking, Celcius is considered to be a metric measurement.

Butter melts at 31 C OR 87F- that explains the puddle in my butter dish yesterday!

I misunderstood your post, because I am, apparently, a numpty :whistle:

That being said, now I'm not sure what the 'everything in metric' was you were referring to. But I'm probably overthinking it again.

Perhaps you mean Kermit the frog? Answer Y or N
Baby birds need to be fed cat food (ironic) and threaten the cats with no biscuits.
Moisturiser- good to go, try coconut oil it's cheaper
