Mick you need to get with the new and upcoming world mate. Here is an article for you to read. And the crack about leaf springs ? This comes to us from a country that still eats "Blood Pudding".

I see the new upcoming world every day mate,and i dont like it a bit.I read some of that article,and ironically,it seems to be taking the piss out of the non metric believers,i'll read the rest later though. Eating blood pudding is not for me,but then i wont eat a Mac Donalds either.I also wont eat any of the genetically modified,hormone injected meat that Americans call a steak.

Both the metric system and the imperial system have their purposes and I don’t see it as a competition between them. They serve two different purposes. Cheers ! Cu, Sven

Looks like that there are working very dumb engineers which are not able to convert things or to use a calculator. Idiots are everywhere ! So dont blame it on metric or imperial - just say the there is an idiot working, at least one minimum. Cu, Sven

That was'nt one bloke,that was an entire team of mathemeticians and engineers,who all assumed that the rest of the world used imperial measurements.They were supposedly educated men,yet they did'nt ( and plenty still dont) realise that they are working with a backward system,one that everyone else in the world abandoned years ago.

You are right mate,she has the power to disolve parliament if she "deems that it is acting against the interest of her subjects".Never has there been such a traitorous government as we have now,yet she does nothing.She stands idly by while the country is being handed over to the very people that my Grandfathers generation,and yours, fought 2 world wars to defeat.The German bitch should be on trial for treason herself. The House of Windsor is the royal house of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms. It was founded by King George V by royal proclamation on 17 July 1917, when he changed the name of the British Royal Family from the German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (a branch of the House of Wettin) to the English Windsor, due primarily to the anti-German sentiment in the British Empire during World War I.[1] The most prominent member of the House of Windsor at any given time is its head, currently Queen Elizabeth II.
