I,ve just looked at the british record fish list (course) and there are eight or nine species that are recorded in lbs, oz, and drammes, one is even recorded in drammes and one half of a dramme!
The ones recorded with drammes are mainly in the smaller species that we as anglers catch from time to time.
What I find strange is that in all my time as an angler I have yet to see a pair of dedicated scales with these measurements shown on them for the captor of some fish or other to record(have I missed something here).
I can understand tho that if when measuring a fishes wieght the needle of ones scales settle someway midpoint between two ounce divisions that a half ounce may be claimed, but to claim, and have accepted a measurement of say three/six/nine /or eleven drammes seems to me to be a bit pie in the skymg:, and a half a dramme is simply ridiculous and makes a mockery of the whole record fish list
Maybe it be a good idea if some manufacturer made scales for anglers with Drammes on them or for true accuracy to be recorded metric measurement should be accepted- what do you think.
