Re: Silly use of archaic units (4.00 / 2)
Thanks,

For coal, it's almost 4 times the price, and I'm sure that is conservative. As for units, 1000 kg = 1 tonne, 2000 lbs - 1 ton, and at least we don't weigh in units of stones (114 lbs) or measure time in fortnights, or use velocity units of furlongs per fortnight any more.
