[Blonde]

How did you get baned? what for?

 

[GreatHype]

I told the truth

 

[mark thorpe]

metric is best lol


though as im working on aircraft, and alot of the legislation is done by the yanks, im having to learn how to do it in imperial too, getting a tolerance of 1/1000th of an inch on a lathe isnt fun!!

 

[pink_floyd1]

tis ... thats the way i write it like it is 10/01/06 21:37 ... anyway, just sit here and post

 

[mark thorpe]

yep. 10/11/21:47 at the moment...

i hate measuring in inches... much prefer centimeters, cant you yanks switch to using metric!! hehe

 

[pink_floyd1]

were ment to be all metric .. but the roads are all still miles, lol .. would cost too much for uk to change them imagine how much it would cost the US

 

[mark thorpe]

it would cost a fortune, and im used to miles per hour too!

yeah, were supposed to be all metric, but its the americains who are the major players in the aeronautical engineering field, so my company has to use imperial so that its universal to the yanks. lol

 

[pink_floyd1]

sure that space probe thin (went to mars) crashed because it got confuzzed between metric and imperial ....

 

[GreatHype]

so this is what my thread turns into? Be ashamed be very ashamed.

Lmao! From banned to metric/american standard debate


We use the messed up system because we as americans want to feel different. Go us.
