A short survey on vacuum flasks

Science eh?

Well sonny Jim, if imperial units were good enough for we Bulldogs, and metric units had already been adopted by France, why then did Napolean lose confidence in them, and abandon them 3 years before the Battle of Waterloo? Doesn't that say anything?

Third World sang "96 Degrees in the shade", but they could have opted for 35.555555 Degrees Celcius in the Shade? Fahrenheit is easy to understand, when referring to temperature felt on the skin in normal weather.

We speak of automotive speed in terms of mph, even though the Europeans have bought into the French kph.....which is best when referencing astronomy? That's what I think.

In summary, I fear Bernard that you are a tad unpatriotic, and would have sold us out to the Krauts. If only all of them were like Oliver, then that would be fine, but sadly twas not so. Some are like Boris Becker, who takes all the nice girls!!

I won't take part in your survey, as I feel Winston Churchill wouldn't, Chuck Yeager wouldn't, and Usain Bolt's had his successes in miles per hour, and failures. AND the humble thermos was invented here, in Blighty, in 1892, where measurements are still recognised in imperial measurements [weight, speed, land dimensions].

This whole piece is a work of nasty, subversive and traitorous behaviour. It has the faintest whiff of Vichy France.

That will be all.

Must spread some rep around:(

Can someone rep GA2G for this excellent post?
