Hi Amanda, I started my working life as an Apprentice Fitter/Machinist, so I only new Imperial measurements. When they went over to the metric system it took me awhile to get to grips with reading a metric micrometer. Later on I became an Electro/Machancial Engineer servicing various types of machinery, as long as the parts fitted it didn't bother me if they were metric or imperial. I retired the end of December 2023 aged 70😂

I disagree about the pancakes, I found the American ones to be a bit too thick an therefore a bit doughy, the British ones are larger and flatter but then we put sugar and lemon and anything else you want such as maple syrup and then roll them up so that they are like a roll, they are absolutely lovely.

[@rayfielding4340]

Shrove Tuesday was the last opportunity to use up eggs and fats before embarking on the Lenten fast and pancakes are the perfect way of using up these ingredients. Which is why the pancakes are different really. We used to get a half day off school for pancake day. As for the metric system! Well we learned both ar school, these days I think everyone just learns metric, I wonder if the real reason for keeping the mile was she sheer cost of changing the signs. Some still use pounds ounces, perch, Rod, chains and furlongs. Horse racing and the length of a cricket pitch come to mind.

I live in a beach town with a very popular wharf and boardwalk/amusement park. Roundabouts aren't very common in the U.S., but the city decided a bunch of years ago to install one near the beach to help with the flow of traffic. Now, people are used to it but that first summer it was absolute chaos! Tens of thousands of Americans had to deal with a roundabout for the first time in their lives!

[@frankbrodie5168]

You have my utmost sympathy. As an ex-driver for a living in the UK roundabouts were my #1 hated thing when driving. I'm absolutely certain I'm in the minority of UK drivers in hating roundabouts. But that doesn't mean I'm about to change my mind. I've stopped driving completely now anyway. So.. problem solved. lol

if you don't stop at stop sign in the uk you have to stop too. The penalty code TS30 - Failing to comply with stop sign, will gain three penalty points on a drivers licence which will remain in place for four years. Running a stop sign will usually see drivers faced with a £100 fixed penalty fine, though in more extreme cases, fines can amount from between £100 to £1000.

[@seanmagee4992]

I love 4 way stops here. Back home, at crossroads with no lights, one road usually had the right of way and if traffic was really busy, you could sit there for ages waiting to get out. With 4 way stop, its first come first served, so nobody has to wait very long to take whatever turn they need.

[@raycardy4843]

Hi Amanda! Totally agree on roundabouts, much more efficient than junctions with traffic lights - bit like your 'Stop' signs, the lights force you to stop, even though the roads may be empty! I used to live in Milton Keynes, known as the 'city of roundabouts'..! for the pancake races, legend says that it all started when a woman heard the shriving bell calling people to church on Shrove Tuesday while she was making pancakes - and she ran to the church still in her apron with her frying pan! We don’t know whether this story is true, but we think that the first races happened in about 1445..the most famous race is held in the Buckinghamshire market town of Olney every year, competing with the town of Liberal, Kansas since 1950, who hold an identical race - whoever gets the fastest time wins the 'International Pancake Race!..!

American pancakes are just bigger versions of Scottish pancakes and Scottish pancakes are what we, in my family, always had on Shrove Tuesday growing up…I am Scottish though. I will also say that Scottish pancakes when fried are a REALLY great item on a fried breakfast…along with potato scones.

While visiting her parents one afternoon about fifteen plus years ago he did it right in front of me so quickly I didn’t have time to react and my wife was on the receiving end, and boy did she lay into him immediately after she deflected it, he was in his late thirties and still acting like a teenager. There are the most commonly filmed spider in Australia as everyone knows what there are and I don’t dislike them other than there are extremely fast moving so much that people think they jump. Example I notice one on my wrist of a flannelette shirt that I had on, and I had to look twice as four of the legs on one side of his body were not there, by the time my brain computated this and considered he wouldn’t move that fast he was at my neck, needless to say the shirts was ripped off and on the ground. The largest spider I’ve come close to in the wood pile next to my shed is a SE Queensland tarantula it’s abdomen is the size the hunters man legspan an two to three times the size of the James Bond size tarantula in the London Zoo I visited a year later, where I instructed the exhibitor of some thirty years how to treat spider bites as he didn’t know basic Australian scouting first aid.

Well, rough conversions to the metric system are: 2.2 lbs = 1 Kg 3.3 ft = 1 m 10 ft2 = 1 m2 The above are rough estimates but come very close. More accurately: 1 lb = 0.45359237 Kg (an estimate of 1 lb = 0.4536 Kg is quite good) 1 inch = 2.54 cm or 0.0254 m 1 ft = 30.48 cm or 0.3048 m The temperature is a bit more complex: (o F - 32) / 1.8 = o C or (oC X 1.8) + 32 = o F
