I've seen it measured in knots as well.
2008-11-11 31627, 2008

I wonder what we use... I'd guess mph
2008-11-11 31642, 2008

knots makes sense for maritime forecasts.
2008-11-11 31600, 2008

So that would be about 45 knots.

they're not silly and use metric, at least

There was a sale in local tyres store, and they were advertizing alloy wheels "starting from 80 euros per set".
2008-11-11 31649, 2008
srotta
When I got there, there was a single set that cost 80 euros, a set of original Jaguar wheels. Which is nice, of course.
2008-11-11 31634, 2008
srotta
Except that the diameter in those wheels is measured in metric, not inches, so in reality there are no tyres available for them.
2008-11-11 31649, 2008

lol
2008-11-11 31606, 2008

was that a set of 4 or 2?
2008-11-11 31610, 2008

So what's the logic here? British idiots use Imperial units for everything, _except_ when there's a measurement everyone else uses them for.

20 euros per alloy wheel. you could see a catch coming from a mile/1.6km away!
2008-11-11 31629, 2008

80 euros is probably their salvage worth.
2008-11-11 31645, 2008

srotta: officially we use metric in most situations, except for things like road distances in miles, speeds in mph and beer in pints...

Getting pretty close 8)
2008-11-11 31609, 2008

but since... hmm, a good proportion of the population grew up using only imperial, people still use it

For example, a couple of years ago Finnish air force moved from metric units to using feet.

I know there are some cranky old market traders who started protesting about having to sell bananas in metric when they wanted to only use imperial... (they can use both, afaik, just not imperial only)

and some polish people with a polish pub selling polish beer in polish glasses got took to court because they sold by the litre (since the glasses weren't in pints either)

Strongbow's sold in cans here, but it's a bit of a lowbrow drink, like stella
