Yes, many of us were brought up with quaint imperial measures, but it's
easy to adapt. I still remember my height in ft and inches, as that's what

Have you seen or used a medical thermometer any time recently?

That's Amazon US. But I agree, it's probably possible to set digital
thermometers to have a retro display.


You can't live in the last century forever.

Will you tell the Americans or should I?


They can live in the last century if they like, but it's not an option
anywhere else.
