I've mentioned before that mine is the last generation to be able to get its head around the concept of rods, poles or perches. The Small Object Of Desire And Moon Of My Delight tells me that hers is the confused generation:
"I know how long a metre or a mile is but I've no idea of yards or kilometres."

I know the feeling... I'm also from the crossover generation.

Kevin, you have a Small Object Of Desire And Moon Of Your Delight? If I understand this correctly then this is wonderful news!
Scarlet: I mentioned cubits and got a dark look...
Gadjo: you do, and thank you dear chap.
I am sort of crossover, but feel more comfortable in feet and miles. Can't do metric at all, especially in cooking. Long may your moonbeams continue....
I know the difference between 6 inches and 8 inches
Madame def: they cook in metric?
nursemyra: boasting!
There was a feeling, back in 1971, that they ought not to go decimal until all the old people had died. (Think about it)
Tenon Saw: :D
