I wonder why the british don't use other measurements of their own...
like....100 buckets of water in that barrel!  Each bucket has 15,45 cups. Each cup has 10 spoons. So that barrel has a shitload of spoons of water. All this imperial bullshit is fucked up.

Yes, but what kind of spoons? Teaspoons? Tablespoons? Dessert spoons?
