I assume that is the stupid celcius (posh name for centigrade) scale and not the infinitely more understandable and preferable Fahrenheit? You may have heard that we are no longer going to be european over here so I think we aught to ditch all of the changes imposed on us and go back to imperial weights and measures and the good old reliable £.S.D. money. In fact I hope that BREXIT will mean that we get our good old proper winters back so that we get 12 inches of snow and 4x4s are the only things moving on the road - well the ones that can handle it...... QUID FACIUM TIBI
