I used to work on a deli, the OAPs would ask for half a pound of cheese but the scales don't read in old fashioned, so i'd have to either convert it myself or ask them to. Your airline doesn't quote your baggage allowance in Stones, just like the newsagent won't accept your thruppence as payment. Time we got with the curve and all went 100% metric.

We'll have none of that glorified rounders nonsense in the great game. One could (and will) argue that whether you score runs in boundaries or singles is irrelevant. Unlike in baseball where you must get round to score no matter what. Different context completely Points towards Chelmsford and laughs
