I don't mind in some respects - it's when sizes are given in cm and I can't picture how big they are.  Bin bags are a prime example.  I have a large pedal bin in the kitchen - the label on it said 30L when I bought it - fair enough.  I try to buy bags - the first lot were in cm and barely came halfway down the bin.  The next lot said 'capacity 35 litres' so I thought - bit bigger than 30L so should be fine but  :no: still too small.  I've gone back to black sacks - way too large but hey  :shrug2:

Today's rant over  :D

where were we... oh yes

Hate buying metric binbags

And I got gazumped  :blush:  so...#


Love mint imperials  ;)

Worry not,  I have a 40 litre bin and bags are either 20, 30, 50, or 100 litres   !!!!!     Perhaps a new  bin would be the answer    ::)

HATE   chocolate mints

hate chips without vinegar

[rant]
What really cheeses me off is when produce has to be (quite rightly) measured and priced in metric (as per several European directives), and supermarkets insist on packaging minced beef in 454 gram packs, instead of rounding it up to a sensible 500... it's as if they are trying to hang on to imperial quantities regardless.  If the 1970's labour government hadn't backed down on going completely metric, we would've got used to metric quantities years ago.
