...There I learned that donkey power is a third of horse power,

a Sheppey is the closest distance "at which sheep remain picturesque" (7/8 mile, if you want to know),

& a Muggeseggele is a Swabian reference to a housefly's private parts = a teensy tiny amount.

Finally, because I didn't know what Michael was referring to, I searched for "the London fatberg" (can't recommend!). Turns out it's a gross sewer obstruction - but also a good example of the weirdness of
journalist metrology....
