Ok here is one for all the UKers.

Is is true when you cook all your measurments are in ml?

In Canada we use the metric system just like in Britain but we only started in the early 1970s. So our cars drive 100kilometers/hour, we love it when its 32 degrees celcius, and we weigh in grams and kilograms.

There are still some Canadians that use the older Imperial method and many people use a combination of both. For example, I think of cold temperatures better in Celsius (I understand -10 degrees C better than I understand 20 degrees F) but for hot temperatures I am better in Farenheit (90 degrees F means more than 30 degrees C). I weigh myself in pounds but I understand distance best in metres and kilometres. Its twisted and confusing. The next generation will have been in Metric their whole lives so they will only think that way.

We still use teaspoons and tablespoons for measurements in cooking as well. There are 3 teaspoons for every tablespoon. 1 Teaspoon is 5 millilitres.

For kids - metric is great as most things are based on 100. 100 centimetres to 1 metre (vs having to remember 12 inches in a foot or 39 inches in a yard).

Great web site for conversion is: http://www.onlineconversion.com/

Math Lesson 101 is over for the day.

Think this just about sums it up. Apart from Rick's query about why US gallons are less than UK gallons. Anuone got any ideas?

A little bit of good news finally

Looks like we found a new place to live finally!! So it looks like we may be moving on August 26th Date is not set in stone just yet

Then I can finally unpack and maybe find the DIS tag gifts I bought 4 months ago

Good going Cass.

Hi Jeff, thanks for the post , ive missed nattering to you all !


How are you?

What have I missed ?

I cant read the millions of pages ive missed ! too scarey !

Welcome Back Linda. Looks like you had a fab time. Thanks for the Pics.

At school to rasie funds, the kids draw a small pic of themselves and its printed as a school picture on a Tea towel. i will try and take a picture of her drawing..... scarely........... out of 100 odd kids the only child who has drawn a sad angry face of themself, is the boy who is bullying all her class. Wonder what a phygologist ( sp ? ) would make of all the self portraits!

Can we guess our tag gift???

I'm back!!!!!!

We're now connected at home!!

Its been a looong wait and I've missed you all
