This years honey prices!!

[Dishmop]

A quart is a quarter of a gallon or two pints.

But theres a US gal and a UK gal.

The price of honey should be judged on flavour

but one person may hate what another loves.

I looked up on google to see it there is such a thing as "Vintage" honey as in the same way that there is Vintage wine..........but there isnt.

I'm guessing it would be more like vintage clothing

Correct but a quart is still a quarter of a gallon whether your using a uk or a us gallon. It doesnt suddenly become half a gallon in the uk just because the uk pint is slightly bigger that the us pint.

I didnt say it did, but some people from both countries dont know there is a difference.

Why is there a difference.

Oh yes there is.

Theres no difference in that 2 US pints make a quart and that 2 UK pints also make a quart but you wont get a UK quart into a US quart pot.

I dont know why there is a difference but its odd that its the only thing that the USA have thats smaller than anything we have.

Actually its do do with weight and expansion or something.

and my car only does 8.5 miles on a US gallon..

US liquid measures are based on British pre 1824 measures.

Thank you.

Why did we alter them?

I think there was too much local variation so a new standard was needed. A little earlier time was 'local' - people relied on the town/ church clock - there were no 'pips' to set a standard time.

 

[johnandyrob]

So, a US pint is 473ml and a US quart twice that, correct?

The imperial measurements are quite different –-568ml for a pint and a quart is HALF a gallon, so four pints instead of two (US).

I didnt say it did, but some people from both countries dont know there is a difference.

They would if they had looked at this post but would have been left beliving that a uk quart was half a gallon. I was simply trying to clarify that point.

There isn't a standard time now!

With DAB radio, the pips are wrong.

Its also to do with weight somewhere along the line.

16 oz in a pint and a lb I think.


Miles per litre is good.

There was a woman in London who went around selling time. Charged people to set thier clocks and watches to the accurate one she had.... (well that was her story)..

Bitter please.
