Hi guys, <br /> <br />We Brits have had the metric system for some 30 yrs now but you tend to find that you use what you where taught at school. I went to school in the 50's/60's so I still convert back to imperial when I can. I remember the old prices when a pint of beer was 1 shilling and 9 pence. I had a pint last night and it was £1-95 or £1 and 19 shillings! That's gone from 1 and 3 quarter shillings to 39 shillings!! I hope it doesn't happen to you guys in the states, if it does you will be ripped off in the conversion - we where! <br />Anyway, agree with vsmith above, who measures on a railroad? If it looks right, it must be right. <br />Cheers, <br />Kim
