You know how this works, I say something pithy, you roll your eyes. Do not expect high quality.
That's lovely.

It’s so good it might be the title to mine and I have never (yet) been caught short in a monkey house. I did have a discussion with a handler about fitting an adult black macaque into a rucksack once (yes, it is possible but not if you like having a face).

That tracks with what I was told by JT directly a couple of years ago. I'd assumed it was only a time issue and eventually it would be but perhaps not. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

And a vergee is about 40 square perches. A lot of our land is measured in really old units that track back centuries and centuries.

People over a certain age switch between miles and km or feet and metres, grams and pounds/ounces pretty casually. Cars though it is almost always mpg and all roads in MPH.

What you'll find is that references in Britain are still commonly in imperial terms but that most actual technical measurements are in metric. There are some niche items across the country. Where I come from we have hectares, perches, a Jersey foot (which is different length to a foot). Most

That's how cups of tea end up on the bedside table.

I’ll be more than happy if you can knock novels out at that rate. Thoroughly enjoyed it and more than happy to spend my ill gotten gains on a sequel.

Unless your partner also has anosmia you aren’t really getting away with it are you?
