'round about the same time the UK and it's former colonies switch over to driving on the proper side of the road..

Hey, don't get too smug...... we drive on the left, because when you are riding a horse, you hold the lance in the right hand and can hit your opponent.  If you ride on the right, you are just going to hit the wall 

(What us...stuck in the 15th century?  :-* )

I was in grammar school in Canada when Pierre Trudeau launched our conversion to the metric system..  (yes, do the math I'm that old)..

Although I prefer measuring distance/lengths in metric,  a 100 degree day means more to me than high 30's...    and I don't think I'll ever get comfortable with L/100km...  its MPG for me !

(Metric divisions stop at 1mm.  OK if you are using a micrometer, bugger all use if you are using a ruler)


Whatever happened to: A bees dick, a poofteenth, a cunt hair. When using these measurements, you know it's bloody small! I grew up with both, I measure length & weight in metric, but use acres & HP. I wouldn't know what 1 HP was in KW (or whatever it is)

when are you yanks going to change over to metric like the rest of the world?

wasn't it the Raving Loony Party (or whatever) that said they would make the switch if elected.   But in order not to cause chaos it would be gradual - bus & trucks first..

better wait for japan and thailand to do it first, they weren't anybody's colonies
