Suppose I use 1 stone, 12 pounds and 10 ounces in a (large) ratatouille. What weight of tomatoes do I have left?
Nah: imperial isn't coming back. The big food market in the centre of the city sells small fruit and veg in plastic bowls 'a pound a bowl' is the tarrif and the quantity in the bowl changes according to price. Larger items (cauliflowers) are priced typically by number so 2 for £1.50 or whatever.
- lucozade 4y agoThat's a lot of tomatoes. I'm surprised you could find enough pickers to pick them.
- Aloha 4y agoYou might see meat and dry goods being sold in pounds, like the states does, but like, I cannot imagine going back to 240 pence to the GBP, just inflation alone. I think that works out to 9 pounds, 10 schillings, and like 3 pence however for the tomatoes. You can have imperial without the stone though.
- 2b3a51 4y agoYes, I think the decimal 1p is on the way out - at least one coffee bar in town is pricing their wares to one decimal place of pounds. Let alone the old penny (1/240th of a pound).
