A young person at work asking someone else if lbs were different from kgs.

This is a young worker appox 19 or 20 keying in hazardous goods info into a tracking system. What on earth are they learning in school?

Not in Victoria- no miles here or for many years now.Always kilometres. I haven’t heard of miles here anywhere I’ve been but maybe over West there might be.
