    Nope. Fahrenheit tells me it's very hot and Celsius tells me it's very cold😊
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I’m a great fan of Nigella’s cups. But I only get to admire them from afar.

    I only used metric when surveying a garden, but I'm 6ft tall and weight myself in stones and pounds, but I never , ever use fahrenheit
    I don't use fahrenheit myself but I don't think anybody can claim that 21 degrees sounds warmer than 70 degrees. :D
    I've never , once , in my whole life heard anyone give a minimum winter night time temperature in Fahrenheit . Maybe in winter they want to say "it was -10 last night" as it sounds really cold, but in summer they think that " it's 80 degrees" sounds really hot?

    I can remember when, way back, the tv weather forecast was given in Fahrenheit. We were used to it then, but we got used to it when they changed to centigrade. For a while the temperatures were given in both scales.

    Moi? surely not? 😇  I only meant the baker in the family keeps a firm grasp of her cups. Using them to mix curry spices is, apparently, not socially acceptable behaviour. 

    Land for sale often still quoted in fanegas here and local agents often price in euros and pesetas.
