Rhubarb Posted November 7, 2003 Author Share Posted November 7, 2003 but the yanks go full circle... I've seen burgers being sold-to at a race meeting in hicksville tennesse as 1/4# or 1/2#. So because # is pronounced the same as pound, and lb is a unit of weight as well you can use # instead to mean lb weight. (and before someone even more pedantic than me jumps in I believe lb is weight, not mass). also.... I was in a meeting in Texas once with 5 yanks and 1 other brit who suddenly asked if anyone wanted to 'pop outside and have a fag'..... You can imagine the reaction I'm sure!
