Telegraph wants to return to imperial

[2hats]

that's why no one has buggered around with the 360 degrees in the circle.

That's 2π radians to you.

 

[Pickman's model]

Feet, inches and miles are still useful, and still used. Pounds and ounces and stones belong in the dustbin of history. Pints never went away.

how many people know how much they weigh in kilograms?

All receipts now to be issued on parchment or (in a pinch) brown paper.

Can I tell Surrey Police to get fucked?

A surprising many I imagine. I certainly do.

Yes, indeed it is expected of Audiwankers, who should then find an appropriate online forum on which to complain that they were in fact driving safely and the police ought to do something else instead of taxing law-abiding motorists.

yes, it's simple, but you clearly can only divide 10 by 1, 2, and five: while you can divide imperial measures by a much greater range of numbers. that's why no one has buggered around with the 360 degrees in the circle.

2π degrees in a circle.

CTFY.

Whats your waist measurement in cms?

 

[Pickman's model]

2π degrees in a circle.

the smaller angle is fucking 2π degrees you twat

Spot the twat who never progressed far enough in maths to cover radians.

how much do you weigh in kg then?

A surprising many. I'm currently 95kg, 85kg is my ideal weight. Anyone who's been involved in sport at a half decent level will know their weight in kg, the NHS always seems to record my weight in kg. I reckon most young people will do as well.

Next you'll be asking me what I'm wearing.

we are more mashed up than you think

 

[8den]

CTFY.

Yeah when was the last time you used maths for anything useful

I'd not be able to do my job if I didn't (== used pretty much every single day).

Or 6400mils now drop and give me fifty for getting it WRONG

how many people know how much they weigh in kilograms?

seriously?

 

[editor]

seriously?

I have no idea at all. None.

 

[frogwoman]

Nor 24 hours in a day.

I thought proletarian democracy was going to revolutionarise this

 

[frogwoman]

most young people do. the scale at my mum's only has weight in kilos.

proletarian democracy's policy, last i looked, was the adoption of the auld russian units as the authentic product of peasant and worker experience: versts and so forth

 

[frogwoman]

I wouldn't begin to know how to calculate my weight in imperial tbh.

they were going to decimalise time so a day had 10 hours lol

 

[frogwoman]

100 seconds in a minute, 100 minutes in an hour, LOL

Well that's great, but an awful lot of people don't.

 

[frogwoman]

im sure they don't, but that's not the same as implying that hardly anyone does
