It was a big headache for me to start with but after 30 years or so I've got used to it to some extrent, but somethings are still hard to visulise. It waqs even harder here as we didn't even have metric money 12 pence in a shilling and 20 shillinbgs in a pound not easy dollars and cents as we have now. <br /> <br />I used to be 5' 8" tall now I think I am 1.7 M and what about buying milk in lots of 300 millilitres instaed of a pint. But the hardest is puming my tyres (tires) up to 250 hectapascals instead of 32 lbs/sq". <br /> <br />As far as HJ is concerned it seems you went through just the opposite to what we did 30 years ago and it isn;\'t easyat first but well worth it in the end. <br /> <br />Tp Cpt Carreles I think having a Purple Star means you are a very decent and brave man. It would also indicate that you are an old digger (veteran) and good luck to you, as I have a long memory as well to do with our countries combined wartime tribualtions. <br /> <br />However taking into account the irreverence of some Australians, in some parts it means you haven't got Mobey *** and that you are immune to it. <br /> <br />Good luck mate.
