No it was just really spicy meat, I hate spicy food, but this was something else

I remember when I went to Salou, I had a tuna pizza and wanted to die there and then.

You can add Kansas to the list of states, Freebase.

But I don't think anyone would have any questions for me.
Just know every single stereotype you've ever heard about Kansas is 100% true.

Why do Americans seem to think Brits use the metric system?

I've come across this about 4 times in the past couple of weeks.

I wish I could partake in this but Kayleigh already has Scotland and we aren't even in different areas.

You don't use the metric system ?! :O

Yeah, what?

It's taught in schools, it's been passed as law by the EU.

But you walk into any shop and people will ask for stuff in pounds & ounces, when talking about distance you won't hear the words 'kilometre' anywhere.

If someone is talking about their height or weight it's always in feet & inches or pounds & stones.

The only time I can think when it is used at a petrol pump but even then people still talk about miles per gallon.

So in a word , no.
