Hi Kingsly,
If you had ever been in my Workshop, you would know Metric is totally
forbidden !
I only use proper Imperial measurements, I can assure you it was miles per
hour.
The metric system was invented by ''cheese eating surrender monkeys'' They
are welcome to keep it to themselves.I am quite happy with ounces, pounds,
pints, gallons, inch, feet, yards and miles thank you very much.
God save the Queen.
Cheers,
Nev.
Well said Nev..... why the hell should we be conned into accepting a French
Revolutionary method of mensuration ( have to be careful how I spell that!).
I do the same. Interesting that I have NEVER heard anyone boast abut how
many Km to the Ltr they get out of their car or aeroplane even amongst the Euro
enthusiasts.
