[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2516076, member: 25851"] The UK enjoys being different to everyone else and loves sticking with tradition, especially if it doesn't make a lot of sense. Obviously a metric system would make things much easier, but we would have to relearn everything and that's not for us! Especially us oldies. So, many of us stick with Lbs and ozs, £ and d (pence) (would actually prefer to keep the s. as well, but that has been taken away from us). What could make more sense than having a coinage which includes 12 pence (made up of farthings thrupences, sixpences and halfpennies) to a shilling and 20 shillings to the £ (pound) and which also included the regrettably long lost guineas, sovereigns, crowns, half crowns, groats etc? Food today has been avocado on toast for breakfast and then ham and cheese for lunch (still taking antibiotics when I remember, so need to have some food in my stomach despite the instructions, to stop my stomach rejecting the pills). Later I will have some of the ragout with some palm heart pasta. [/QUOTE]
