   Hi! mark,   
      
   On 18 Dec 15 11:37, you wrote to me:   
      
    PQ>> quick reply saying that I would have been more comfortable with   
    PQ>> the old imperial measures.   
      
    ml> the funny thing is that i had thought you guys were metric down there   
    ml> so i made the special effort to convert the mesaures to metric for you   
    ml> ;)   
      
   We are.  But I grew up with the old measures.  I still do the conversion from   
   metrics back to pounds & ounces, yards feet & inches.  The only 'plus' is the   
   dollars & cents, which are more "comfortable" than guineas pounds shillings &   
   pence.   
      
   My reply was me being a cranky old man, for which I apologise.  There are   
   times when I need a smack.  :)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.   
      
   ... Can I have what's behind curtain #1 instead?
