This type of thing really offends me and I would like to think any right minded individual would also be equally repulsed.

I am, of course, referring to the Jellied Babies packet weight being quoted in grams first and ounces second. Is this what Nigel Farage died for?

And what about that rogue full stop or decimal point between 4 and oz? Disgusting.

if you wANT  a real laugh go and read the Amazon reviews on Diabetic gummy bears (the usa equivalent to jellied babies)

 

Along with Nuclear duct tape (apparently a real thing) and "How to Avoid Huge Ships".

There is some interesting and worrying reading in that article,

 

Did America Fernandez's parents name their child with a prophetic view of the future and Trump's presidency.

 

The youngster sharing the same name as a rather controversial American General  claims they like all kinds of animals and then goes on to say they were most impressed by a snake eating a mouse! Perhaps he/she should be renamed Lunatic.

 

As they are residents of Pratt, I started to wonder if the publication date of the publication was 1st April. However, an internet search shows that there are several Pratts in the USA as well as a Pratt Institute.

Having visited relatives in NZ I thought there drove used cars from Japan, imported when the are no longer wanted in the land of the rising sun. There are/were two large vehicle carriers that made a weekly run into Auckland. However, discerning drivers (my nephew claims to be one) are now going for imported s/h European cars (invariably.German).

 

Surprisingly, given their roads and speed limits it seems that they prefer more powerful and faster the car so you can collect more fines, the better.

Having worked with a vert nice Pratt (William) for a number of years it was not strange that a firm of Solicitors in the local town centre was named Pratt, Burke & Pratt! I'm reliably informed that one of the partners eventually resorted to deed poll.
