[/quote] Ian, For some strange reason America has never embraced the metric system. My brother is an automobile mechanic and his associates have all types of trouble with the metic tools. I guess the metic system is to...European, for Americans to adopt. We measure distance in miles per Hour and the idea of kilometers per hour is sort of unusual. Same with temp, we like 100 degree heat and would be put off by the temp of the climate that showed its centigrade equal. We in America have had a special admiration for Austrialia, but I think the myth and stereotypes are more engrained than the turer image. Let me know what the mainland is like, and thanks for holding on to General MacArthur during his darkes days. By the way, I have a purple star. What does that signify?
