@yassie_j it all comes down to the British art of compromise. I'm old enough to remember the change over. !shock-horror!
Suddenly pint pots had an extra 1.5 cm added to take them up to 600 ml. I guess 568 ml wouldn't cut it. But if you are manufacturing jam jars you can get away with calling them 458ml or whatever, after all which home jam maker knows how much they will end up with? So the actual measure is sort of irrelevant. As I recall the roads in miles was an effort to avoid confusion.

@girlonthenet @stuart_cb As a man of a certain age, growing up when girls NEVER asked guys out, I feel your anxiety! Good on you. Hope the date is good. Or at least fun. ;-)

@joabaldwin good spotting. Did you check all the commas in the Ts and C's?
