Discussing this thread in a zoom meeting today, one person said they used a recipe that originally included a nut of butter.
And then the issues around converting from F to C then to Gas mark.
I remembered that 360F was gas mark 4.
But I hadn't used a gas oven since before we used C.
And another has a recipe that called for a 'moderate' oven.
I knew as a child that a moderate oven is 360F and therefore gas mark 4 because that is the temperature for making a Victoria sponge.

I used to adjust tappets on ancient engines with a '15 thou' (ie 0.015") feeler gauge. Haven't done it since about 1980.
