Random Things

Not posted anything here in a while figured I probably should.

Have noticed strange things about living in the US. All property bought or rent is rated by square footage rather than the UK system of how many bedrooms it has. So when you say you just moved to a new flat people will ask how many square feet is it rather than how many bedrooms. This confused me as one I don’t know how to do imperial measurements in small increments like feet and inches and also because it never occured to me this was in anyway relevant.

Eggs don’t come in packs smaller than a dozen. You can get 12 or 24 but not the usual pack of six you would expect.

They don’t have paracetamol out here or ibuprofen … or rather they do but it won’t be called either of those names. They call Paracetemol acetaminophen instead out here and Ibuprofen is usually only called by trade names.

There are probably other random things but I’ve forgotten them.
