Bring back pre-decimal coinage, if only to totally flumux the app generation!The Euro ? what's that ?
We still use good old British sterling here, chaps, and now that we have left the European Union, we'll be using the Great British pound for a good few years to come
Don't jest - when I was an articled pupil, and undertaking my college studies, one of the required subjects was Quantity Surveying. The course had just changed to metric quantities, had I been a year or two earlier, I would have been condemned to working out quantities using the duo-decimal system. As there were 12 inches in a foot, there was a weird system for decimalising this and fortunately, I never had to try and understand itBring back pre-decimal coinage, if only to totally flumux the app generation!
You certainly dodged the bullet on that one, as I did too... Good ol' base 12. Possibly one of the most confusing numeric systems ever. I mean, come on; who thought that having the number 12 expressed as 10 was a good idea? Don't even get me started on the upside down 2 & 3... Completely bonkers...Don't jest - when I was an articled pupil, and undertaking my college studies, one of the required subjects was Quantity Surveying.

I'm sure some of these " Good Ideas" stem from bored office staff who have missed their vocation as stand up comedians
Let us be honest base 8 or base 16 would have been the most sensible option for both the number system and the units of measurement.
Blame the Romans - if there had been two more digits between 9 & 10, then 10 would have been a far more useful number (divisible by 2, 3, 4 & 6 and the metric system could have worked well

Well said that man, bring it on.Bring back pre-decimal coinage, if only to totally flumux the app generation!
You ain't seen nothin' yet, babyIs this thread drift, could be wrong but it does not have a lot to do with Aristo craft points
Oh! I don't know?Is this thread drift, could be wrong but it does not have a lot to do with Aristo craft points
You're right, although changing track is the whole point!Is this thread drift, could be wrong but it does not have a lot to do with Aristo craft points
My bad..! Just got a bit side tracked. Hmm... Side tracked. That's a bit closer to points at least...Is this thread drift, could be wrong but it does not have a lot to do with Aristo craft points
Yeah, I mean, Oh s**t you're right - probably the truth is that none of us have kept the boxes and know what the part numbers are
It'll be on the box - hence my ..............................OK...................................
How do you identify an Aristocraft point? - i know it will say 'Aristocraft' on it, but they didn't (to my knowledge) put a part number on 'em?
