Anyone from the UK?

42 as that's the answer to everything

And if you know the question ... stay quite or they will destroy earth.

I usually make ginger lemonade.
Grate a kilo of ginger and boil it in a litre of water for twenty minutes. Then add honey to taste, about a pound or a pound and a half. Leave to cool and add a litre of lemon juice. Pour the mixture into preserving bottles through a sieve and boil for thirty minutes at ninety degrees.
Either mix six to one with sparkling water as lemonade or drink hot and pure for colds.

Oh, sorry, I forgot you're British, I'll try to convert that into imperial units.
That would be 3/128 cental ginger, 7 1/32 noggin water or lemon juice and 579 scruple honey, if you have a sweet tooth like me. When I make this, it usually ends up being a sethera, because one bottle isn't quite enough. Of course, it depends on the bottles and how big your preserving pot is.

Kilogramme = 2lb 3¼oz
Litre = 17·6 fl oz

If you'd rather use the Furlong Firkin Fortnight system, the conversion factors can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFF_system

Oh, thank you so much. I just picked measurements as ridiculous and random as possible.
Maybe it's good that I didn't give prices using Farthings and Guineas.
At the office I recommended using Atto Parsecs instead of boring metre based systems. I mean using earth's rotation around the sun to measure small parts or anything else? That's so COOL!

 

[Meekly_Anna]

For whatever reason they refused. Humourless stupid managers.

Evening all, finally time to relax

Already in bed with the football on the radio. Stupid cold/flu bs

That reminds me on the old Monty Python sketch with the penguin on the telly.
"Now it's right o'clock and time to explode the ... football."

If you like unusual physical constants:

c = 983,572,279 feet/second = 186,282·6286 miles/second
0K = -459·67°F = -273·15°C
Admiralty Mile = 6,080 feet = 1,853·1817m
= 355/113
Parsec ~ 19,173,538,000,000 miles = 101,236,280,600,000,000 feet
