Weight in stone, and you want us to go metric.Hitting thirteen and half stone. Started back in April at 16st 5lbs.
That keeps me happy for the day
I don't know about up a mountain but I've been up a creek a few times and the view was shite !!I agree. I live in the Thames Valley and wherever you are you can generally only see as far as the next building. I grew up in a rural area with views for miles and my goodness I crave a half decent view. By the sea or up a mountain is where I would like to be.
Had a nice day out with the family yesterday for a picnic. Served as a really nice reminder for how lucky we are to live where we do. The right environment is good for the soul.

Who wants who to go metric?
Actually, it is an age thing and there's some shuffling about and disagreement for folks born around the early 1970s where half of us go by centigrade and the slightly older folks get Fahrenheit. There was much rejoycing amongst some folks that, with our withdrawl from the EU, we could buy our carrots in pounds and ounces again.
Weight in lbs (not pounds, that's a currency you dumb Yank!) and ounces, big weight in stones ... or tonnes (not tons)
Distance in miles, length in feet and inches ... who the heck is 188cm tall?
Drinks in pints and gills ... and yes, you can get a pint of (Yorkshire) tea up my way
But temperature ...
Yes, centigrade ... because Fahrenheit makes absolutely no sense whatsoever while centigrade is based on something observable, like snow and ice on the ground or water turning to steam. What's the temperature? It's 32! Que? It's freezing!!!
... that, and currency. Even you folks with your wonky way of speaking over that side of the big pond can count to 100 when it comes to money.
