To say nothing of the quantities in my old (and I do mean old) recipe books - not much call for a gill of milk these days.

I love you a bushel and a peck,
A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.....

Doesn't that song also mention gallons? I disremember.

When I visit the town where I grew up I still think of the distances in miles - for anywhere else I can do kms. Tamworth to Armidale = 72 miles.
