This is in reply to everyone. I think we had a reference to orientals; well I worked for the Chinese for the last 8 years of my working life and they were just the best, more money, better conditions, stock options and they fought among themselves to employ a man in his sixties. This is far better than I could have expected from my own people. My boss, Xing was at least 300 mm or a foot taller than me, so there. I have travelled a lot around the orient and i am enthralled by it, if you could see my railway you would appreciate this. Donald I must ask you how many fingers and toes do you have, if you have ten like me you must understand the reality and humaness of the metric system. All your well documented and well founded complaints, are to do with conversion from one system to the other not the system itself. A few things that may interest you about people worldwide; did you know that females have been steadily reaching pubity earlier for nearly a century and no one knows why. Also it is official, the largest race of people on the planet are the Tongans. Now getting on to a more important matter, the international price of beer. Because of our drink driving laws I drink at at home alsmost exclusively and a slab of 30 x 375 ml cans costs about US$26.00 and I can get 2 X 4 litre casks of good quality wine for about US $19.00. 375 mlitres is about 0.84 of an imperial pint, what it is in American measures is beyond me. But it is based on the old measure of a "schooner" inroduced a long time ago by the Brtish Navy. This is a pretty big drink that you would buy in a bar in Sydney and the rest of NSW and not in any other part of Australia. I also have two sets of spanners (wrenches) and its been more than 30 years. Speed is no problem in metric 110 km on our freeways is easy enough to understand. getting booked for speeding is also fairly easy to understand, irrespective of the system. I have no intention of driving in the middle of the road although i'm sure it would be ok somewhere in the world. The business of the way different governemnts act is reasonable and I think a lot of our politicions animation is because they a slightly worse than the others. All the best from Ian retired in the sunshine, what do they say about queenslands weather; perfect one day ideal the next. Ian; Kawana Island Tropical Railway.
