This needs updating, there's a shift to weighing people in kilograms now. Thank god

I lost two stone last year. I wasn’t on a diet, I just threw them in the river behind my house.

Temperature can definitely have an "are you over 60?" question with yes pointing to Fahrenheit (or maybe that's just my mum)

As much as I dislike imperial, I'm still used to using Fahrenheit for body temperature. 99 mild fever, but you still have to go to school. 100 stay at home. 103+ you're dying.

Distance gets measured in time units too sometimes.

“I’m about 10 minutes away from there now” for example

"Are you measuring your knob?" should be in there somewhere.

And where from. The bumhole usually.

On the distance thing, I’ve always seen it as: if you can measure it with your body, it’s feet; else metres.

My table is two feet long, but my neighbour’s house is ten metres away. It sounds weird and maybe I’m weird, but that’s how it works in my head.
