    Yep, you are right. My point was, it isn't deep, and I was just harassing Duncan for hitting the " key, instead of the ' key

    I was taught the SI at school and had to use Google to convert between metres and feet for the benefit of my friends from Our Former Colonies.

    I find that your use of old fashoned units is rather quaint - a bit like the way you spell some words.

    Duncan, when you write "metre" instead of "meter," we're thrown for such a loop that we can't think any more.

    Easy: "metre" is a unit of distance invented by that French cad, General Bonaparte, and "meter" is a device for measuring something such as electricity discovered by that fine gentleman, Sir Humphrey Davy.

    Sorry! I should have wrote 38 and 30 fathoms respectively.

    Got watch people who have "tyres" on their cars.

    I'm perhaps one of the rare individuals who is proud of my British Isles heritage but prouder still to be a "former" colonist as I wouldn't trade our Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights for anything.

    Do the British spell proper names the same way the person using the name does? Check my signature line, then your website
