I still prefer rods, poles, and perches.  In fact, I wouldn't have the
size of my allotment measured in anything but rods!  Hurrumph back to
you!

Kilometres are wot's taught in skool in England (don't no about the
rest of the UK), and when our money was converted to decimal coins, I
reckon the rot set in.  Me? I still think of shillings as being made up
of 12 pennies, and pounds being made up of 20 shillings.  It was so
much easier to work out on my abacus on the market stall wiv me Uncle
Ben.

But then I am in my late sixties.........
