   What a question. This is the Independent we’re talking about, home of Robert Fisk amd Yasmin Alibhai-Brown .

   As Johnny Mac would say, “You cannot be serious”‘

   Can The Independent Put Two And Two Together?

   More importantly, can the people reading The Independent put two and two together? I know some can.

   It finally snowed in Kent, a mighty 1cm, or about 1/3 inch for Americans and their 17th Century measuring systems.

   My wife said “Make sure you put a blanket in the car for the drive to work”. I only go up the M25, if I got stuck I could ring her to get me one. Sigh.

     That is known as “The English System” of measurement.

     1 CM is .394 inch. We Americans would round that off to 3/8 of an inch if we chose to convert it. Nobody refers to a measurement of 1/3 of an inch. Look at a standard ruler. There is no mark for a 1/3 of an inch. It would seem odd.
