Used to feel rich as a kid with a few large coppery smelling coins in your hand, then yes as you say the prices rocketed overnight. I still use a mix of metric and imperial. Tell me the height of mountain or distance to somewhere in metric and I've no inner idea as to what you're talking about. Doesn't help that I worked in an archaic industry that still uses old imperial measurements like rods, chains and furlongs for distance acres and perch for area and cord for wood.
Maybe that's why my house tunnelling didn't go so well - was mixing my measurements
Now wait just one cotton-pickin' minute here-ya! You remember the decimal change? The coppery smelling pennies. Used a mix of imperial and metric measurements. Worked (as in past tense) in an archaic industry.
Just how old are you Goatboy? I'm beginning to feel like I've been sold a pig in a poke
