LOL... here in Canada we went metric 35 years ago and still talk in terms of miles, feet and inches. Even the stores have their prices in large font for pounds and small font for KG.

I've be a the Cliffs of Mohair a number of times, and they always impress.

Noooooooooo.... you got it all wrong, according to the Hunter fan club, the 356 will be just fine... it's the US Naval aircraft carrier groups who will need to seek shelter.
