Blane,
I had noticed that the States still manipulate in Imperial!
It is even more frustrating when a mechanical appliance stops working and spanners are called for.

Nearly as good as a Tablespoon of material.
Maybe it's why on the odd occasion the meal cooked by my wife is to say the least "salty" - she
mixes British and French cook books but only uses a French tablespoon.


Peter,

 What is 6.4 of an oz ?

That does not make sense - if you mean: If 1lb contains 25g how much does
6.4oz contain' then the answer is simply 25 * 6.4 / 16 = 10 (which should
make metriphiles feel at home!).


What I was eluding to was:
Again mixing imperial with metric.
6 and a third of an oz., or fifth, what ever, but point something of an imperial measurement! - not
logical.

Yes, France is metric and if I remember my days teaching in British schools - all measurements in my

classes were also in metric.

It is the mixing of the systems that is difficult to accept.

It is wonderful to see the measurements of the different frames, brood boxes etc. set out in
imperial - not easy to make direct comparisons is it!
Go metric!

Regards
Peter
