Simon's Cameo; brit measurments question (was:Re: yael's pic)

[yael oren]

Simon: "C&C = Coffee and Cats - meaning put your coffee down and push the cat 
off your lap so that when you start laughing you do not end up 
spraying the cat over ther keyboard or dropping the coffee on the 
floor."

Lol!

Simon: "Does this mean I am in for a painful death?"

Er... I was thinking more in the line of making you do horribly silly things. Worse than death, as i see it. <VBRG> Unfortunately, as a responsible writer, i let my cameos approve their part before uploading them, so i can't write anything that will make you  put a veto on it. Just remember that i made you grovel to Voldemort when i wasn't vexed. :)

Simon: "And on second looking maybe Draco was the wrong character to pick. I 
think I meant Hagrid. ;)'s at yeal yet again."

Ah! Didn't make me spit cats out of my nose this time. Being extremely short, even with my 6 foot (180 cm) husband, there is no chance any of my kids will be Hagrid-like. :) Good thing they're girls.

I was waiting for an opportunity like this - can any of you Brits tell me what measurements are used in the UK? For height, distance, weight (people and products), temperature (climate and body)? I know this requires some work. I looked in 'the best of British' posted here a while back, and couldn't find this. I'm sorry.

thanks, yael
