Mid 40's, I was taught in both, which is very useful, as I can swop between the them without any hassle.  ::)

Pretty sure the table linked to in my earlier post is sourced from an American article, and the US is strangely reluctant to change to metric units (although I believe it is creeping in by stealth!)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Forgot about the generation gap when it comes to C and F  ::) - being keen on science I was brought up quite familiar with both, so over the years I've found that most of the range of temperatures you encounter on a daily basis I have come to know off by heart.

0C=32F, 10C=50F, 16C=61F, 20C=68F, 25C=75F (-ish) I find particularly easy to remember - for most practical purposes, including gardening, you can guess the rest unless you happen to live somewhere like Canada or Spain!  ;)

You forgot 28=82  :D
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

If you can promise me 28C on a regular basis I'll start looking at property prices in your area right now Yorkie (although I commuted to, and worked in York for 10 years before I retired, I seem to remember getting more bothered than hot when I was there!  :wacko:  ;))

Well they must have heard me talking about them ... Got home from work to find 2 courgettes have germinated. And at least one cucumber has split the seed case

Yahoo!!!

2 courgettes are probably enough!
