B-) He has an astrophysics degree of some sort but how long ago? More
than 10 years ago it'll be way out of date.

He only recently completed it. Started the course but took time out to
do rock'n'roll. Once he'd 'retired' he completed the course and got his
degree in 2007.

Surely degrees don't go out of date .. do they?...

I have been rather hoping (for all too many years) that Fahrenheit
degrees really would go out of date.

In the all-too-brief weather forecasts, they waste a sizable proportion
of their word count repeating temperatures in F.

Since when? The Beeb hasn't used F for a while.


Maybe it is only the local segments? But definitely they keep slipping
in an F.
