Happy Birthday Rick!!!

[Ricky B]

Thanks guys. Strela, no patience needed, thanks for the chance to work with your creation, it was quite enjoyable.

I didn't know the status down in Aussieland, good to learn you all make a logical choice - my comment was directed just at the British - although even that may be off, since you have the UK, the Brits and English that for most Americans are hard to differentiate - but then some here would lump the Aussies and Kiwis together, LOL.

When I was about 19 the US was trying to convert to metric also (and I don't know if that makes me younger or older than yourself!). I could handle the distance and temps fine, but volume/liters were a problem. In the Marines, we were on a road trip through an isolated part of the country, gas stations every 50 miles/80 kms at best. We pulled into one stop and found our govt gas card had been lost. We had to pool our money to buy gas to make it to the next station that I had a credit card for, and I was given the job of guesstimating how much gas, in liters, we needed to make it there. So I did my calcs knowing we needed x gallons, we got the gas and took off only to run out, in a snow storm, about 10 miles short of where we needed to go. I never lived that down and have hated liters ever since, unless it is beer, LOL.
