Thing is, the US version of the volume measurements almost makes sense. Everything is powers of two. Two tablespoons in a fluid ounce. Eight fluid ounces in a cup. Two cups per pint, two pints per quart, four quarts per gallon. It’s just that the fluid ounce is defined stupidly. Oh, and the teaspoon. Screw teaspoons.
The UK version, on the other hand, doesn’t even attempt to make sense. Its only advantage is larger pints of beer.

I would say that is a pretty compelling advantage.
hedgie:
My thought exactly.
St.Clair:
If you like beer, I guess.

Same. We just finished a six-day streak of 40+°C temperatures and are now enjoying the pleasant relative coolness of the low 30s. And it's not even the hottest part of summer yet, which is usually February here - though I'm really hoping we don't get a repeat of that next month.
The air conditioner is still running nonstop but at least this week I've been able to do more than just lie in front of it quietly.
