even the beeb is still clinging to imperial units sometimes...

but don't take pride in your metric superiority you got it from the french. like the pox.

/look brits, I have to take shots where I can because I live in near the smouldering hellscape that is gangland portland, and I'm barely hanging on, the sound of the frogs is deafening

I wouldn’t say gangland. That bit of Dorset isnt Bournemouth.

same with springfield.

Yeah I don't really know what I weigh because my stupid bathroom scales tell me it in stone. And that's my excuse for being a fat bastard, bathroom scales fault and nothing else.

Stones can be all kinds of sizes and weights.

I personally prefer to know people's weight in pebbles.

Why would anyone want a stone pumpkin?

I really hope that that was the official headline.

We need more straightforward headlines.

I saw a few videos on youtube about growing those big AF vegetables. It was a super interesting to dive into that topic for a bit because there are so many little things that play into growing them!

Do you think she's adding her own manure in that picture? Maybe that's the secret to huge pumpkins.

Oh what a beauty, I've never seen one as big as it before
