Hee hee - thanks Carl. Truth is, I was just being lazy and hoping you guys would do it for me! Guess you didn't fall for that one!

 

[CarlS]

Usually I convert mine when I post. I was being lazy today, too!

I always try to do that. Even though we converted to metric decades ago I was brought up on Imperial and never fully converted. I bounce back and forth between the two, but am only really comfortable with Imperial.
I know instantly what Imperial units are, but have to pause and think about what it is in metric.
I'm pretty good with temp and mph/kph since I use them a lot, but weights and volumes still puzzle me some.[/QUOTE

working in a sawmill i constantly have to work between metric and imperial mesurments ! the sawmill is in imperial and people order in metric ,so you have to be able to convert from one t other all the time.[/lang]

Now that would be a real pain!

it is but you get used to it , but i am a 1/32 to 20ft man my self [/lang]

 

[CarlS]

I hear you! Me, too.

How can 10, 100 and 1000 be confusing when you guys in the UK talk about weight 10 STONE - then I have to convert 10 Stone to pounds, then pounds to KG's - now to me, that's a total pain. I like demoninations that go up by 0's. We in SA lost the Imperial system way back in about 1970 and there is no hint of the Imperial system at all - litres, km's, kg's, cm's etc. I remember the Imperial system but really battle to put into perspective, except feet and inches - I still remember how tall (or short) I am in ft and inches.

I always thought when they were talking about stone they were smoking that funny stuff

 

[Gromit]

Dave, that's 'stoned' - signs of your misspent youth showing here!

 

[DaveM]

Oooops sound the same in the 70's

It hit 90 F/32 C here today. That is summer weather.

It snowed again Sunday. But it is melting off so I'm hoping to finally pick up the bike tomorrow before it snows again and I can't get it through my back alley into my garage.

[Gromit]

Poor Coco! You should send him to me where he'll have to experience frozen paws again! Just looking at the photos, beautiful as they are, made me cold! Or colder - it's another miserable day in Joburg - 11c at the moment.
