..actually, I was going to round it off to "about half a yard" but I realised that there would be those about of the pedant persuasion who might take exception to such Southerner excesses .... I am still quite certain in my conviction that metrication is but a passing fad and we shall, again, return to the glories of multiple unit systems which take 7.5 years to comprehend ..

a dreadfully sad, but nonetheless statistically predictable, consequence of all Queenslanders' having been being weaned onto that dreadful XXXX stuff .... rather than Put-Hair-On-Your-Chest Hunter Black (or the equally beneficial and efficacious Guinness for those who hail from Mutt-land) ..... the lighter XXXX fraction, quite indubitably, led to an understated density value in the then locally extant engineering textbooks ....
