I will ask some people who > lived in Germany how they ordered a beer :-) When last we walked through this at alt.autos.saab - I'm pretty sure we were reliably informed that they simply order by litre almost exclusively .. :) .. I'm of two minds on the metric system having grown up on the imperial measures act - only to have to changed about the time I was getting through high school here in Canada. Made for some interesting finals for many. Interestingly - I can adjust my 1993 Aero display to report metric temperatures and 24 hour clocks - but at the same time still measure mileage in imperial or US gallons. I much prefer metric for measurement and fasteners, but still like imperial for comparative calculations. -- Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Mr Ray Charles - Mess Around http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/182.RAM all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in no sign up required - all the Time
