It's all sorted and the thread closed, with my agreement.
It's all done and dusted. The moderation is not finished yet, another day or so I think.
I thought irascible was his trade mark. :blink:Quote:

If a member of FST is on moderation,
do they recive a free forum counselling session before being allowed back?
I've never been on such a thing,
but I do hope Jp is ok, hang in there dude! ... Power to The people and all that! :)
What exactly does moderation consist of?
You're here and posting...did I miss the public flogging?
All posts are checked by a mod or admin, before they are posted.Quote:

I dare you to try and post the phrase "cock spanner".Quote:

Merkins use yardsticks.:P
Sounds more like moderation for a Mod.
Where do you chaps get this idea we use metric measurements in the UK.Quote:

We use the decimal system for currency, but that's it.
I heard it from the friend of a friend who once drank a Bass Ale.Quote:

The trouble with imperial measurements is that there's no consistency with them...
16 ounces = 1 pound
14 pounds = 1 stone
8 stones = 1 cwt
20 cwt = 1 ton (I think)
12 inches to a foot
3 feet in a yard
2 yards in a fathom
1760 yards in a mile? who the hell came up with that one?
It was 1000 paces for a Roman Soldier.
I use whichever is convenient. Metric for bits smaller than an inch, then imperial for bigger stuff. I also use imperial in cooking.
Oddly, I have also used grammes expressed as fractions of ounces. But it seems to work ok
I used to work with a fella who used both. He would regularly give measurements like 2 metres 4 inches.Quote:
