Talk:Last (unit)

Redirect
Candidate for being a redirect to Dutch units of measurement. If anything the uncited/unsupported U.K. last would be a bygone holdover, as from what sources I can find a "last" comes from as early as the Hanseatic League times (q.v., The German Hansa p.141), and is where I knew it from thanks to games such as Patrician 3. One other thing of note is that a measure of 2 400 lbs seems slightly on the shy side, since the Dutch last was defined as 3 000 pond and the book I cited above places it at 2 tonnes. --Jtgibson (talk) 21:35, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Nope. This is the English wikipedia, not the Dutch one. Just treat the Dutch unit as a section here. — Llywelyn II   16:02, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
