First off, I thought this thread would include pictures of McGay in a pair of speedo's:

https://www.menshealth.gr/id/files/14904/lefterhs-speedo-eksoxiko.jpg

Secondly, I've always found it mildly amusing/ironic/odd that after america gained its independance from Britain, they continued to use imperial measurements.

Miles are the same. It is gallons that are different. Imperial measures are such a useful standard Wink .

To really confuse you, with stuff like the Irish mile and the like:-

All the best
