Kinda warms the heart after loosing the Ashes a year ago.

Best of luck in the pursuit of the next position

This is so true! Even in elementary school when learning the metric system it made more sense! But don't dare say that to a red, white and blue blooded 'merican who was taught "this is right that is wrong"! I get a lil pi$$ed when working on anything mechanical and someone helping says "ah @#$% its metric, stupid metric wrenches".....stupid?? they're in 1mm increments, how "stupid" is that. Apparently there is a new-ish Americunt (take that censorship) measuring system for auto plumbing fittings that is trying to be similar to metric where 1/16" is referred to as -1 (dash 1, they actually say dash!) and they increase in 1/16" increments -2 = 1/8", -3 = 3/16"....-12 = 3/4"....etc.

"gimmie a 3 wrench"....."which 3? 3/16", 3/8", 3/4", -3, 3mm?


You'll get no hate mail from me on this one!!

Guess I kinda went on a rant there sorry....I feel better now

 

[Wolfman]

^^^^^^

The metric system rocks! end of story.....America's system, is a relic from a time past!

:thumbup:

 

[mikw73]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Please do not let up making fun of this insane system of measurement that the one country that should have had the least trouble abandoning it insists on using! I have too many wrenches and too many sockets, and even though I never buy anything that needs the dumb ones, I still need and use them. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the poms still use their SAE system(imperial) too.I wonder what nut & bolt sizes are on the trumpy's

 

[appollo]
