Oh dear. They already have turbines, why object to repowering? Of course, now is the time that community buy-outs should be talked of, repowering is throught to be far cheaper too

I thought this was c/anythingbutmetric for a second

Double decker buses are an established measurement at this stage in the UK!

But do you measure heights with them stacked on top of each other or end on end?

Wait, your double deckers aren't all perfect cubes? How strange

In the states we call this "hotdog or hamburger" because our non-metric prowess is fucking evolved.

I would prefer to see SI units. 9.2 decadecks.

Base 16 or go home 4.8 hexadecimal buses
