Do we Go Imperial?

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!

    If you’re as old as me you might think the title is a Rod Stewart album first released in the early 1970’s. It is but this is the picture’s story – there are two parts to it!!

    Why Didn’t I Think About That?

    Howdy from East Texas where the weather is unusual to say the least. Here it is late May going into June and we have yet to cross 90f yet and as I type this, it is raining yet again and the temperature on the porch is a mild 66f. Yes, we Texans always like to talk about the weather because if you don’t like what it is now just wait an hour and it will be totally different.
