        Strangely, I got my letter saying my “postal vote forms will arrive soon” two days after I received the postal vote forms. I got confused for a moment there!

              Europe/London, BST, UTC+01:00

              Do you use a different calendar system, by any chance?

                I use the French Republican calendar from 1793 because I’m so anti American, I use nothing except for metric systems. You?

                  I like the Gormanian and Holocene calendars; but I use the Gregorian for compatibility with the rest of humanity.

                  Also, as I live in Britain, I use an unholy mixture of metric, imperial, and archaic measurements.

                  Length of an object? Centimetres. Height of a human? Feet and inches. Mass of flour? Grams. Mass of a human? Stones, pounds, and ounces. Distance by car? Miles. Distance on foot? Kilometres. Volume of a soft drink? Litres or millilitres. Volume of beer or milk? Pints. Volume of non-dairy milk? Also litres and millilitres.
