BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

[Ian H]

I got pretty good at estimating field sizes in acres in my farming days, though hectares is an easy conversion (divide the acreage by 2.5) and (obviously) more logical (a 100-metre-sided square). I've no idea how big a football pitch is. I think the Isle of Wight and Wales are the other two standard reference points.

Double-decker football fields laid end-to-end. Which reminds me of...
If all the girls who attended the Yale prom were laid end to end, I wouldn't be a bit surprised

No idea how big a football pitch is? And you worked at a private school? Rugby pitches are roughly the same size.
Says quite a bit about you Brian!

Me, go anywhere near a rugby pitch? If you saw my efforts when I was 12, you'll know why I've avoided them ever since.

Surely you saw the various pitches marked out when working at your private school though?

Not really - I'm better at fields with hedges and cows and things. And I didn't want to get mud on my slippers.
