My friend Wendy and I went to GOF at the IMAX in Chicago yesterday (my third viewing of the movie, her second). She had mentioned on the way there that she was bugged by the mention of Fahrenheit temperatures on the radio in the opening scene. (I have to confess that I had paid no attention to what was announced on Frank Bryce's radio.)
I listened harder this time, and indeed the announcer mentions that the temperature is 61 degrees Fahrenheit. I don't know that I would have been bothered by it, even if I'd heard it, because I don't instantly think, "Wait a minute, Great Britain uses centigrade, not Fahrenheit." So, the questions are:
1) Were you/would you be bothered by this?
2) Is the Fahrenheit temperature used in UK broadcasts?
3) If not, is the announcer saying something different in the UK version of the movie?
Enquiring minds want to know...
akh, who's grateful to her friend Wendy that she's given her an excuse NOT to clean the living room right now
