Oh yes we do. Distances are miles, Beer is pints - and that's without thinking.

Sorry I thought only the US used antiquated measurements. Obviously I was mistaken.

Quote: Even the British don't use Imperial Measures any more.
Don't know what you're using as your yardstick for that but here by the 8 furlong horse track, where they recently ran a 2000 guinea race, I'm cruising along at 50 miles an hour sucking on a mint I took from the quarter (pound) I bought at the sweetshop, excessively smug about the miles per gallon I'm getting. Next stop is the cemetery where a friend was recently interred six feet under (his family wanted him cremated but his will wouldn't give an inch on that) after an unfortunate accident on a 3 fathom deep lake. I'll be leaving a dozen lilies on the grave and then going to a memorial do where we'll share a firkin of cider and toast him with a yard of ale before downing a few pints in quiet contemplation.

Making the same mistake twice is unforgivable.

I hate when that happens.

Thank you, I learned a new term today.

Nice one! I never knew that.
... The problem being that I dare say 99% of people don't know it either, so what lunacy inspired them to use it on a "friendly" app?

Roll on the new version of WeatherMate.

The wind has dropped from Beaufort 6 to Beaufort 6! (from 50kph to 41kph)
So if I head out west-sou-west, I'll have a nice, easy ride back.

Splendid, here's a ad free forecast[^] hour by hour with wind speed in nearest 1 m/s.

|

I admire your optimism.
You know that on any read that has a headwind going out will also have a headwind coming back.
cheers

It didn't happen today, though -- so the number 0.1% really does exist!

I think it has something to do with the user's location. I would use a third-party weather app instead.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I'll point you to a new ad-free (and completely free) alternative shortly.

I used to use WeatherMate, way back when, but it got really slow to load.

I think you'll be (very) pleasantly surprised with the new version. I'll ping you when it's ready and you can give it a try if you like. Unlike its predecessor, the latest version is a 100% portable app - nothing to install.

Happy to give it a look, but I really, really want to fix the one app that I have on my start screen.
(That's partly because I don't want to have to go to the bluddy awful app store to look for more.)

Not bad! It's like an old pal has come to visit.
The only negative comments I can make are that the "Today" forecast gets truncated at two lines, and I had to handle its auto-starting manually (we're lazy, these days; we just want to put a tick in a box).

Thanks for your comments, Mark. The "Today" box should display a tooltip that shows the entire forecast. Yeah, I need to add the auto-start bit.
Thanks again!
