Hands and feet at the ready Purple People, today we are looking at the world of measurements.
We’ll find out how Oxens’ shaped our measurement system, why you would have a different weight village to village and how a stick was the object to rule(r) them all.
Make sure you aren’t one over the eight for this episode as Susie will be testing your knowledge of some of the stranger units of measure before we jump into the mailbag for some Purple Post featuring the voices of two lovely Purple People. Susie’s trio and Gyles’ poem conclude another Purple plunge for this week.
A Somethin’ Else production.
