    I mean, milk, beer and wine are measured in hectolitres. Oh, and oil for heating, I believe.

  Not so sure about that, buddy…

  If faced with the choice of giving up the metric system forever or giving up tiddies forever, I know which one I’d choose. I can get used to a new system of measurements, but without tiddies to measure, what’s even the point?

  I have to say, “da” is a bad prefix. Good thing nobody uses it.
