You missed my opening line "This is London calling ....".  I was referring to 
imperial measure.

The real point that I was making was to emphasise the stupidity of the imperial 
and customary systems of measure and of how two different units can have the 
same name.

In US ounces I think it's still 128 isn't it?  At least according to Google.
