Default Imperial measurements was "Crossrail budget may be slashed bya third"

would be much better off with the dollar

Nay nay and thrice nay.

We should go to Galleons Sickles and Knuts

which with 29 Knuts = 1 Sickle and 17 Sickles = 1 Galleon will really
raise arithmetic standards.

..

But British Imperial measurements aren't always the same as the US
Imperial measurements,the gallon for example.


nitpcik

Are US measures ''imperial'' ?

I think not.

1 US pound and 1 US foot are the same length and weight as British
imperial - various standards agree on this - but surely not use of the
term imperial in US ?
