Old secondary school souvenirs: I attended a commercial school for foreign trade so we had to learn the imperial measures (lenght, weigth, volume both dry and liquid, even those in use for precious metals and stones) ...and their use so that we were able to manage the shipping of any goods to any corner of the globe (which, I later discovered, has no corners... :rolling: :thinking::surprised.
