liar, you guys don't even have feet, you must mean nine meters high. Little know fact, people in Great Britain are actually nearly 30 ft tall (just over 9 meters in UK speak). But only while on the Island, it's kind of like Lost, except without dentists and sandy beaches work seeing.

We invented imperial measurements and we're not getting rid of them just because the Frogs & the Krauts and the rest of Europe wants to go metric.

I don't have any pictures of me behind any counters.
Although I once was in a TV advert behind one.

Imperial units get stupid after a while. Especially in engineering, it's a pain in the ass to deal with feet and slugs (not pounds) rather than meters and kilograms.

I thought you'd all given in. Here in America we're too stupid to understand imperial or metric measurements.
