heiglandreas, 15 days ago @derickr @ramsey I also now know that 1 imperial gallon contains 8 imperial pints.... 8.... Why 8???? I mean, the old pound sterling system was based on 6 or 12 (and they only seem to have copied the karolingian system)... OTOH: 1 Sovereign = 4 Crown = 8 Half Crown = 10 Florin = 20 Shilling = 60 Groat = 240 Penny = 960 Farthing = 1 Pound Sterling.... 8 imp. pints = 1 imp. gallon seems almost too easy... 🙈
