@tsunimee Yes! Though I recently changed to measuring in metric to get away from some of the guilty feeling about how much I weigh and not be able to compare it to my weight in the past 😂

@tsunimee Though I’m old, so my app is called “On the Scales”. But its target audience is other old fogeys who still measure their weight in stones and pounds, so I don’t think that’s a bad thing… onthescales.com/iOS.html

@RobLogan3 @stillawake Welcome! (As I understand it, it’s the diameter of the water main the hydrant attaches to, which is important information for the fire brigade—the hydrant connectors themselves are the same standard size across the UK, I *think*.)

@stillawake Some are imperial, some are metric, so for example this one is for a three-inch diameter pipe, 45 feet in front of the sign. pic.twitter.com/Lm62Ow5nnr

There is a fire hydrant running from a 100mm diameter water main three metres in front of this sign. pic.twitter.com/ewIiBLchQj

Bye bye, Boston Tea Party in Clifton Village. I wonder if one day I’ll be able to sit upstairs again, in whatever business takes over, staring idly out of the window and watching the busy zebra crossing on Regent Street. pic.twitter.com/tuhhFwcPHd
