The old yard would vary in length depending on where you measured it (time and space being inseperable on earth), but at least it could be accurately measured and checked for weights and measures purposes.<br /><br />The French metric system is - basically - a concept, not a reality that can be double-checked with any degree of accuracy, unlike the winter and summer solstice!Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-14305409079960824382011-08-23T09:06:08.116+01:002011-08-23T09:06:08.116+01:00How are those bees coming along?How are those bees coming along?Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-90361341434687464242011-08-23T08:38:00.692+01:002011-08-23T08:38:00.692+01:00You've really confused me now Cro...what year ...You've really confused me now Cro...what year is it now?<br /><br />I like the idea of jumping from the 4th to the 15th.
