In view of correspondence on this subject, I began to have doubts about the
accuracy of my statement. I have just combed through The Guardian Weekly
of December 20 and 27. I found
km 3 mentions
km/h 1 mention
�C 1 mention
mile 3 mentions
inch 1 mention
gallon 1 mention
pint 1 mention
pound 1 mention
I would now describe the Guardian's use of units as eclectic.
