I remember when I was young the big wrestlers were around 19 stone, somehow I have become one! Although I have recently trimmed myself down to an anorexic 17 stone 8 (112 kg for you techo types!)I measure my weight in Stone & pounds (as the number looks smaller than in kg!)
Now that's over my head
You can buy milk by the Bushel?
Probably not in the US where I think it was only a dry measure but here in the UK it was both a dry and a liquid measure (of 8 Imperial Gallons).
Hi Raku
Yes indeed, very soothing, the use of the selected Hex Key wrench drove me a little crazy though. Perhaps try on other accoutrement. Maybe a little more stable under intense action (do not lubricate!)Ah, I love it. Audio porn!
Disappointed that nobody has answered this simple primary school exam question. I believe the answer to be 65gns 18s 5 3/4d (sixty five Guineas eighteen Shillings five Pence three Farthings). I needed a calculator but you'd have to do it in your head when such units were in use!
Firstly us Yanks would have to google what the heck a gill is as well as Farthings. And I must say sixpence three Farthings makes no sense at all even if I knew what a Farthing was. Maybe it's the opposite of a Closething.
Eye, and aren’t Farthings, some breed in “The Lord of the Rings”.
In the days of pre-decimal currency a farthing was a quarter of a penny.
Mean while in the US the only thing we do by ten's is money. In middle school I was told by the time I would graduate the country would be full metric. Also every car would use the Wankel rotatory engine. Power generating breeder reactors would make electricity so cheap it would cost pennies. And that flat panel TV was only 10 years away.
Dry or liquid?
Haha 1 cup = 8 ounces = 236 milliliters.
