Do we Go Imperial?

Posted on in Blog
Now that Brexit is on its way what are we going to do about measurements?

I appreciate metric is very logical and practical but I do remember being taught at school names for different measurements of volume or distance and how and why some are connected.  

So as a reminder to those ‘oldies’ who remember Pounds and ounces, pints and gallons  and feet and inches – the first in a series

Area

1 square foot = 144 inches = 0.09 sq metres

1 square yard = 9 sq feet = 0.836 sq metre

1 Rood = ¼ of an acre = 1,210 sq yards = 40 sq poles

1 Acre = 4 roods = 10 sq chains = 4,840 sq yards ( about the size of a football pitch)

1 Hectare = approx. 2.5 acres

Virgate = 30 acres

Hide = 4 virgates (Its origins lie in the amount of land sufficient to support a family)

A square mile = 640 acres

Something to think about!

    Flew into Darwin from Alice Springs – 2 hours north. Even landing at 7pm you can feel the heat and humidity difference.

    I traveled through London Gatwick airport for the first time recently. I realized that the number of flights have been reduced due to COVID-19 but, I had not realized quite how different the airport travel experience would be.
