Plus - when we went on holiday nobody could find us for two weeks..... If it was an emergency BBC radio would broadcast a message e.g. “Will Mr J.

I'm British! To be fair, a good amount of the stuff in this hobby is pretty darn confusing, so the gallons thing is the least of our worries!

That's why litres are easier - there's only one kind of them (even if the spelling is different in different countries)
