In the UK a gallon is 8 pints, and each pint is 20 fluid ounces. So a US gallon is 20% smaller than a UK gallon.<br/>I assume that the Canadians in this thread must also be using US-sized gallons. 2024-11-11T13:14:27Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdcpwwufvpdy8urtw7we52davc250qjydgy29velpv7d3my8l3z3qzyqq3d26vt0ut8p6ktp4hgletgd9xg86lghu3hewyns7sjhfxztgdjc587hr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfqxshau94avgn03zaf5hv6sjtqqh7cqyxenq4mr5fnfnu749gvmcd2qsjj'>nevent1q…qsjj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Most land area in the UK is still (informally) measured in acres.<br/>I like the fact that an acre is a furlong by a chain, cos I can visualise that:- A chain is the length of a cricket wicket. A furlong is an eighth of a mile.<br/>Also, an acre is the amount of land that one farmer (and horse, I assume) could plough in one day.<br/>[I&#39;m probably completely wrong about all this!] 2024-11-10T20:37:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswp7e6fq6vqe59f2l5wyugkq4lmmv73f2dvkhda8l3uq2qlajvewqzyqq3d26vt0ut8p6ktp4hgletgd9xg86lghu3hewyns7sjhfxztgdjfuw0sz I&#39;ve just completed a four-day trip canoeing down the River Spey in Scotland. 112km. 🛶 Now I&#39;m knackered.<br/>We had a nice group; myself, my wife, her brother and nephew, plus a few others. We wild camped for four nights on islands in the river. 🏕<br/>I was paddling tandem most of the time but paddled the last morning solo, into a headwind unfortunately. ☹️🌬<br/>Typically Scottish weather; mixed sun, rain, cold, wind. Never the same as the forecast. ☀️🌤🌨<br/>#Canoe #CanoeTouring #Scotland<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodonapp.uk/media_attachments/files/113/210/906/975/173/631/original/43e32845ee2809b9.jpg"> <br/> 2024-09-27T18:27:14Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszr9ec0m50yprvnt6lrdgh79a5p969ca4c2fdpzeqyzs83ky4xljszyqq3d26vt0ut8p6ktp4hgletgd9xg86lghu3hewyns7sjhfxztgdj970u6m In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszh60dvs093fmq7dtlqeuh30kthhhhgv64q8pug50n34tr6jg4slgxffnsr'>nevent1q…fnsr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I live in Bristol. Around 90 minutes on a train to central London.<br/>In the past, some of my London-based friends would refuse to come to visit Bristol, because it was &#34;too far&#34;.<br/>Yet somehow they expected me to go and visit them. 🤣<br/><br/>It&#39;s really that Londoners think that the whole world exists within London and don&#39;t want to stretch outside their cozy bubble.<br/><br/>(See also, media &amp; political bias...)<br/><br/>(I&#39;m an ex-Londoner) 2024-08-24T07:57:18Z
