Whenever my family went on holiday to Dartmoor when I was little, parents would always take us to church at Buckfast Abbey if we were there on a Sunday.

Always thought it was just for the nice architecture and the gardens, but maybe they had another motive....

Road distances are in miles, speed in mph, heights in feet & inches, anything else is a hot mess generally trending towards metric the younger you are (or if you're in STEM)

ETA: there was a dumb plan a couple years ago to "reintroduce" imperial measurements after Brexit, mainly aimed at food shops, ignoring the fact that the EU never prevented anyone using them, and then the govt quietly dropped it in December lawl

First computer in about '99, which I'd "built" (I was 8, so I mostly just watched while my dad's friend built it and occasionally let me plug some wires in)

First phone, Nokia 3310 in 2003, with a Simpsons case, I think I've got it in a box somewhere...

I've got two - a potato ricer, basically a big garlic press you put a boiled potato in, instant perfect mash.

And one of those spiral apple peeler/corer/slicers, makes cooking anything with apple in so much faster (it's a fiddle to clean though unfortunately)
