Help with imperial measurements

[prepman]

Being a man of a certain age, we just had imperial units when I was at primary school, the metric came along and I'm reasonable happy with imperial or metric.

However, I seem to recall at some point in my life trying to work out some calculations for getting fluid flow through an orifice. Trying to do it with imperial units was really hard (all kinds of conversion factors needed), whereas doing it in metric was far easier. That was the point at which I decided imperial was OK for the allotment, but metric was needed at work.

For those of you who want Boris to bring back imperial, I hope that you do know, he also seriously believes that teaching Latin should be brought back in to schools - true!

I still refer to and ask for Jif even though in 2001 it was renamed Cif in the UK to align it with other European versions of the same product.

I wonder if it was because of conflicts with "jif" peanut butter?
