>From the debate:
Mr. Christopher Gill (Ludlow):
It is a great pleasure to follow my hon. Friend
the Member for Billericay (Mrs. Gorman).
Taking a leaf out of her book, I should like to
tell the House that 140 lb of pigmeat makes
1 cwt of bacon. Many people in Britain today
are familiar with such equations. I could not
give the metric equivalent of that equation,
but I make that point to show that I have been
in business, which, regrettably, not too many
hon. Members these days have.
What a dummy. That doesn't even need to be expressed in metric, either. It
simply reduces to "80% of pig meat is bacon." That has to be simpler than
his statement.
