I'm not supposed to be back 'officially' till Wednesday. But Mrs Biglorryblog and I got back from Orkney today so here's some of the things I shot on the way... I spotted this sign badly in real need of 'retirement' in Inverness (well fair's fair... Metrication probably hasn't got that far north yet eh John?)... Mind you I was under strict instructions from Mrs BLB not to have anything to do with work. But I managed to convince her I was interested in the building behind it. And for a pie... What would a vehicle weighing 30cwt equate to nowadays in metric? And click through here if you can't work it out!
The conversion from cwt to kgs is multiply by 50.802 so 30 cwt x 50.802 = 1,515.06kg... Or a light van! And meanwhile here's one for Nick Santon.
We stayed in the hotel on the way up North Nick... Look familiar? I'm sure those lions are a) smaller or b) mounted on lower plinths! What do you reckon?
It would have to be a very light van, even your little "Postman Pat" series of vans come in about 2000kg gross.
