Goodbye

To le grand K.

Will we follow suit and redefine the standard defining the Imperial Pound?

Are we going completely daft A kilo is a kilo and a pound is a poundWe cannot just change them for something else.It has been bad enough over the years for the older set to compere one against the other for price/weight and even litre/gallon without changing anything else

Well, they say that it HAS changed, in part due to atmospheric pollution degrading the standard, so it is not the Kilogram, but the standard which has to be changed to something more robust.

Should have no discernible effect on most people, though if you are an Engineer or Physicist possibly so, as the Century moves on.

I loved cwt - they always sounded really heavy

If you have ever carried bags of coal.....

They are!

Or at least they were!

An owd woman asked for 5 lbs of potatoes the stall holder said they are Kilos now love, well i will have 5 lbs of kilos,
