I know of Horace Batchelor who had his Infra Draw system but I never followed it.

Very infectious. So much so that the US is still infected. The UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and some other former British colonies, having a lingering infection. 
I hear you, old is the word that comes to mind.
Thicky here but isn’t that just pounds ounces and stones?
In which case I’m still using it, not a clue about kilos etc

Me too, When the vet put Dageus on the scales and said “that’s fine he’s 35 kilos” I remember asking her what that was in proper weight 
She had no idea and was all embarrassed. I had to Google up a table to find out when I got back in the car.

Not only grew up with it, I still think in imperial and then swiftly convert back to metric to compare. I visit a market where the fruit & veg purveyor still serves in pounds if you ask for 5lbs of King Edwards spuds

Anyone remember the mouthy youth in either Please Sir, or To Sir, With Love, shouting out ‘avoir-do what?’
