![]() You know I think that the whole eu thing is a rip off. Alot of them don't even speak english, and they don't have useful measures like feet, perches and furlongs. ![]() __________________

The US was going to switch to the metric scale years ago to make everyone using the same scale, we even started putting up Speed Limit signs on the Interstates with MPH and Kilometers. Then We had our Embassy taken over in Iran and Hostages held for over a year. The main reason they were finally released was because 90 percent of the oil rigs in the world were put up by companies in the US using parts made in the US and those rigs take a beating and break down alot. Iran couldn't get any spare parts anywhere but the US because nobody else used our measurement scale.. That's when the speed limit signs in Kilos came down and the idea was scrapped. I had an uncle who worked for a company that built and maintained the rigs in Russia and even when the cold war was on and travel to Russia was baned he had to go and spend 4 months a year because of contracts we had to honor.. ![]() |
